When your child is diagnosed, you are suddenly in a committed relationship with the medical system and no instructions for it.
In all the noise on autism online, this book is designed to help you set up your life in a doable, more conscious way for the years to come. It is also there to help you ask sharper questions at appointments, keep records your doctors will read, and hold steady over the years this takes.
▸ Which specialists to engage — genetics, neurology, immunology, gastroenterology, endocrinology
▸ The comorbidities that accompany autism, and the investigations you can ask for
▸ Where the time gets wasted — and how to keep balance moving and holding steady
What to raise, what to request, and how to frame the questions.
The arguments and investigations worth bringing to the room.
Where immune questions fit, and how to ask them well.
The gut questions that too often go unasked.
What to investigate and why it can matter.
The clinicians and clinics I know to be doing this work seriously.
