So You Have a Non-Verbal, Autistic Kid. Now What?: A parents guide to helping kids with autism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798284911013)

Your child doesn't speak. The world expects explanations. You're exhausted. Now what?

If you're parenting a nonverbal autistic child, you've probably heard it all: "They'll talk when they're ready." "Have you tried this therapy?" "They seem so normal!" Meanwhile, you're navigating daily meltdowns, fighting for school services, and wondering if anyone truly understands what your family goes through.

This book is different. It's honest, practical, and written by someone who gets it.
