Everything I wish someone had handed me when we started our autism journey. When your child is autistic, one of the hardest parts can be figuring out what you're actually supposed to do next. What support exists? Who do you contact? What can you apply for? What should school be doing? And what do you say when nobody seems to be listening? I created this guide as a UK dad raising a non-speaking autistic son because families shouldn't have to piece all of this together from fifty different websites, Facebook groups and late-night Google searches. This is a 100+ page practical parent handbook designed to help whether you're just starting to question whether your child may be autistic, waiting for an assessment, newly diagnosed, or years into the journey and wondering what support you might have missed. Inside you'll find straightforward guidance covering autism assessments and Right to Choose, DLA and Carer's Allowance, school support, EHCPs, reasonable adjustments, social care and respite, communication and AAC, sensory needs, meltdowns, sleep, restricted eating and ARFID, toileting, siblings, travel, home safety, Disabled Facilities Grants and home adaptations — plus much more. But I didn't want this to be another guide that just tells you what things are. Throughout the guide I've included step-by-step actions, checklists, worked examples, evidence trackers, scripts and copy-and-use letter templates so you can understand what something means, why it might matter to your family, and what you can actually do next. There's also a Support Check-Up to help you spot support or entitlements you may not even have known existed. Everything complicated is explained in normal parent language, with links to official NHS and GOV.UK information throughout. No jargon for the sake of it. No expectation that you already understand the system. Just the information I wish somebody had explained to us properly from the beginning.
