When your child is diagnosed, you’re suddenly in a committed relationship with the medical system, and no instructions for it. This is the practical help no one hands you, from a parent who’s done it.
Not a therapy manual. A map of the medical side — the part no one hands you at diagnosis.
Genetics, neurology, immunology, gastroenterology, endocrinology — who does what, when it matters, and how to be heard in the room.
The medical conditions that accompany autism and the investigations you can ask for.
Clinical reasoning, resource management, and the hard balance between acceptance and action — without burning out.
This book grows out of that same approach — autism understood as a complex, multifactorial medical condition that deserves serious, interdisciplinary care.
I’m a parent of an autistic child, and I wrote Autism: The Long Game. My goal is to help you understand how the medical system works around autism — which specialists to engage, what to ask, and how to keep moving when nothing seems to be.
Autism is hard because it’s hard, not because you’re doing it wrong. You just have to keep going, and I’ll show you how.
