About this audiobook
They said the word, handed you a folder of pamphlets, and sent you home. Now you are sitting in the car in the parking lot, not sure whether to cry or start Googling, with a hundred questions and no idea which one to ask first. Autism. Now what? Autism Diagnosis, Now What? is the calm, neurodiversity-affirming roadmap for the overwhelmed first stretch right after your child is diagnosed. It is not the pre-diagnosis book for parents still wondering whether their toddler is autistic, it is not about adults discovering they are autistic, and it is not a blow-by-blow IEP-meeting manual - a separate guide covers that fight. This book is for the parent who has the diagnosis (or is fighting a doctor who shrugged it off) and needs to know what to actually do next, in what order, without the fear-mongering or the false cures. Inside, you'll learn: Written for the parent at the very beginning of a road they did not choose, by someone who will not pretend your autistic child is a problem to be fixed. You do not have to do everything today. You just have to take the next step - and this book will show you what it is.
