Being a parent is one of the hardest – and most rewarding – jobs you can ever have.
From the moment we bring our sweet babies home from the hospital, we are plagued with worry about things we never thought would cross our minds, and while things tend to get easier as our children grow and become more independent, dealing with children with autism can be a lot more challenging.
Autism and parenting is not easy.
Not by a long shot.
Loud noises can make a trip to the grocery store overwhelming, changes in routine can cause explosive meltdowns, sensory issues can make mealtimes extremely challenging, and sleep disturbances can leave the entire family feeling tired, impatient, and on edge.
But parenting and autism can also be extremely rewarding.
Yes, there will be bad days, but there will also be lots and lots of good ones, and with so many different therapies and support options available, there is help for autistic children.
And that’s what motivated me to write my free eBook, 18 Tips to Help Support Your Child with Autism.
With so many different views, opinions, and personal stories floating around the internet, I wanted to pull together the things I feel will help you not only cope with the day-to-day needs of raising a child with autism, but that will also help you understand your child’s world so you can care for him or her on a more personal level.

Amalia Starr once said, ‘The way we look at our children and their limitations is precisely the way they will feel about themselves. We set the examples, and they learn by taking our cue from us.‘
