This first-of-its-kind, Neurodiversity-affirming guide supports caregivers as they tell their child they are Autistic in a positive manner!

Are you a professional supporting families of Autistic children or a caregiver of an Autistic child? Do you want to ensure that children learn about their Autism diagnosis in a positive, supportive way? "Understanding Autism Together" is here to help you navigate this crucial conversation and ultimately have a positive experience of self-discovery and self-acceptance for Autistic children.

Comics Featuring Autistic Characters:
​

Our Guide includes unique comics that highlight Autistic characters as they share their own experiences with Autism. Through these engaging stories, characters reveal to the reader that they, too, are Autistic! This allows kids to see themselves in the stories and understand their own experiences in a relatable and affirming way.

  • Support for the entire Family: This guide focuses on the well-being and feelings of both the caregivers and the Autistic child through the process, providing resources and strategies for everyone involved.  

  • Positive and Neuro-Affirming: Emphasizing the strengths and unique qualities of Autistic individuals, our guide promotes a positive view of Autism and differences in general. 

  • Engaging Illustrations and Narratives: This guide includes engaging narratives and beautiful and kid-friendly illustrations which research shows help all children learn, but this is especially true for Autistic kids!

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. ​What makes this guide different from other resources? "Understanding Autism Together" is the first comprehensive, step by step guide that is positive and Neuro-affirming that actually tells the reader they are Autistic. It also is the only product featuring a variety of Autistic children speaking about their own experiences with Autism. 
  2. How is this guide different from the Autism Handbook for Kids? The Autism Handbook for Kids was developed for children who have already been told about their Autism diagnosis, and is more comprehensive about what Autism is (and what Autism is not) than this product. This product focuses on initially telling a child about their diagnosis and revisiting the Autism conversation as they get older.
