About this listen
If you want your high-functioning autistic child to develop their social and emotional skills within six months, then keep reading.
Parenting is hard. Period. Parenting a high-functioning autistic child can be twice as challenging. Take it from a mom who knows and has stood in your shoes. Dealing with tantrums, meltdowns, self-regulation, and social and emotional barriers are all part and parcel of your life now, and you don’t want to be the parent that is unprepared.
According to the American Psychological Association, as of 2020, 66 percent of parents with autistic children are under stress that may impact their health-related quality of life - it is a stressful job. So if you are looking for advice, tips, and strategies to help you and your family, then this book is for you. In this book, you'll discover:
- The single most powerful tool to help understand your child better in less than five minutes.
- The most commonly made mistakes parents with a new high-functioning autism diagnosis make, which even the professionals make!
- How to overcome the battles with boundary-setting in three simple steps.
- Five things you can do right now to improve your home environment.
- Black-and-white information to help you choose the right school so your child feels at home while learning.
- Why you need to use your child’s interests to your advantage.
- How to rapidly transform your bedtime routine to get your child to sleep.
- The most honest advice to help you through your everyday life.
- And so much more...

Story
Autism therapy typically focuses on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms such as difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. Now Dr. Barry M. Prizant offers a new and compelling paradigm: The most successful approaches to autism don’t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual’s experience and what underlies the behavior. Rather than curb these behaviors, it’s better to enhance abilities, build on strengths, and offer supports.
