Overview

So... You've Entered the Autism Multiverse Congratulations. You now speak fluent ""beige food,"" can identify a scratchy clothing tag at fifty paces, and have filled in the same local authority form so many times you're considering listing it as a hobby. This book will not: Cure autism. Magically shorten waiting lists. Stop people saying ""But they don't look autistic."" This book will: Explain the difference between antisocial and socially selective (hint: we like people... just not all of them... and preferably not loudly). Talk honestly about masking - aka ""Oscar-Worthy Acting in a Supermarket."" Gently dismantle the term ""high-functioning"" without dismantling your sanity. Validate the sensory chaos of scratchy tags, wrong socks, and food that is the wrong shade of beige. Make you feel significantly less alone at 2 am when Googling, ""Is this normal?"" Written from lived experience - as an autistic parent raising an autistic child - this isn't a textbook, and it's definitely not a patronising ""10 Easy Steps"" guide. It's real life. It's funny because sometimes if you don't laugh, you'll cry (and you've already done enough of that in the car park).
