No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just truth, hope, and community.
Severe Autism and special needs considerations. This type of autism parenting is lifelong... it becomes adult autism parenting.

Navigating Teenage Severe Autism: When Everything Changes and Nothing Makes Sense
We never expect our lives to require staying in high alert mode indefinitely, but parenting a severely autistic child often demands exactly that level of vigilance and adaptability.
• Experiencing the heartbreak when your child begins hating everything they once loved
• Dealing with family members who don't understand your child's needs or your parenting approach
• Navigating the additional challenges of puberty with a nonverbal teenager
• Learning to recognize when your child is being mistreated, even when they can't tell you directly
• Finding creative solutions when traditional therapy approaches don't work
• Discovering grants and financial assistance programs for autism services
Remember to ask organizations about available grants if you need services for your child. Many places offer application assistance to help you qualify for these resources.
