You are not alone, and you do not have to figure this out all at once.
Whether you are noticing early signs, waiting for an evaluation, or supporting your child after a diagnosis, this guide gives you clear answers and practical ideas you can use at home. It is written with respect for autistic children and for the families who love them.
Inside you will learn what autism is and what it is not, which early signs doctors look for, and how to get an evaluation, including how to contact your state early intervention program directly. You will find simple, everyday strategies for communication, sensory needs, routines, transitions, and meltdowns, plus help with sleep, food, toileting, and safety.
This book is for general information and support. It is not medical advice and does not replace your child's doctor or care team.
