About this listen

If you want your high-functioning autistic child to develop their social and emotional skills within six months, then keep reading.

Parenting is hard. Period. Parenting a high-functioning autistic child can be twice as challenging. Take it from a mom who knows and has stood in your shoes. Dealing with tantrums, meltdowns, self-regulation, and social and emotional barriers are all part and parcel of your life now, and you don’t want to be the parent that is unprepared.

According to the American Psychological Association, as of 2020, 66 percent of parents with autistic children are under stress that may impact their health-related quality of life - it is a stressful job. So if you are looking for advice, tips, and strategies to help you and your family, then this book is for you. In this book, you'll discover:

  • The single most powerful tool to help understand your child better in less than five minutes.
  • The most commonly made mistakes parents with a new high-functioning autism diagnosis make, which even the professionals make!
  • How to overcome the battles with boundary-setting in three simple steps.
  • Five things you can do right now to improve your home environment.
  • Black-and-white information to help you choose the right school so your child feels at home while learning.
  • Why you need to use your child’s interests to your advantage.
  • How to rapidly transform your bedtime routine to get your child to sleep.
  • The most honest advice to help you through your everyday life.
  • And so much more...

This book must be a godsend for any parents with an autistic child. I am in my sixties and only realized I have some autistic traits, well an ex-girlfriend that happened to work with autistic children, pointed out. so did further research to find how right she was. Had always thought of myself as a little different, especially needing my own space and preferring my own company. I was always noticing things that weren't perfectly level, and having to do something in a certain way. It was this little thing that she picked up on. we have a son that's now 35 and exactly the same as me. So I can imagine how bad it can be for a child that's got many of the traits.

So this book is going to be a tremendous help for parents overcoming the challenges that parents are faced with in raising an autistic child.

This book has improved my confidence around autistic people because now I have a better understanding of how their minds function, the coping mechanisms are great and I strongly recommend this to others.

If anyone wants to understand more about your child's behavior whether they have autistic or not, or wants to determine the intensity of support of your child's needs, should listen to this book. It identifies the 3 levels of autism for you and guides you with many...many ways to support and tips to help your child and help you to understand your child better. I feel like even you don't have an autistic child. This is also helpful because, in some of the situations mentioned here, the regular kids can act the same way and it can be extra helpful with those strategies.

Very helpful guide for parents!
