How many times have you heard, “He doesn’t look autistic,” or “She seems fine to me”?
Do you feel lost and alone on this parenting journey, like no one really gets it?
If that sounds familiar, it’s time to throw out the perfect parenting guides and join me on this crazy ride, where there’s no rulebook!
*Raising the SEN-Betweeners* shares the heartfelt and hilarious journey of a mum raising two children on the autism spectrum—a boy and a girl—in a neurotypical world. From the early days of discovering their autism to navigating the unpredictable moments, this book covers it all:
- Stopping your child from grabbing strangers' back fat.
- Watching your child tell friends their house is “boring and smelly”.
- Dealing with a meltdown in the middle of a rollercoaster.
- Picking your battles (and losing most of them).
This isn’t a guide on what to do—more like a collection of what *not* to do! Ever wondered what happens when you take your autistic 3-year-old on a haunted ghost ride? Wonder no more.
Full of highs, lows, and delightfully neurospicy moments, this book is for every parent raising the ‘in-between’ children—those who don’t quite fit the mainstream but aren’t considered severe enough for special education needs support.
To all the parents in similar shoes: You are never alone.
