Awesome guide
Catherine L. Abbott, who is well known for her contributions to the fields of ADHD and autism, has written a third book in which she shares her personal problems with raising a kid with special needs. Her writings helped parents deal with the unusual demands of their own children and focused light on the topic of neurodiversity. The author, Ms. Abbott, shares numerous examples from her own life while striving to be the best parent she can be in her book, which is simple to grasp and offers practical examples of how to remain cool and handle challenging circumstances. If you plan to parent a neurodiverse child, you should read this book immediately.

Great read!
I recommend this book for any parent of a autistic child! It is well written and very helpful to understanding your own emotions and actions toward your child and suggestions to help.

Very insightful. I wish this book existed 30 years ago.
Our son was diagnosed with ASD and this was back when there was not a lot of research available on the topic of raising such children. The opening words of chapter 2 really struck a chord with me. When we got the diagnosis on our son, we were relieved to finally have a name for what our son was coping with, but we were devastated as well. What do you do with a child with ASD? How do you cope with him and not lose your cool? We had to learn a lot by trial and error. This book is a great and insightful resource.

Raising a child with special needs is a journey filled with highs and lows, and this book became my compass. Every page resonated with my experiences, and the practical advice offered was so so needed. The author’s personal story and relatable anecdotes made me feel like I wasn’t alone in this journey.

A good guide for all parents, though its focus is children with ADHD. Well written and easy to read. There is a lot of information in this one, and some excellent insights.

Thank you for writing this book. It seems you have captured all of my feelings, thoughts, fears and ideas on paper in a way that I was unable to express. I canât wait to put the anger steps into practice and really work on myself.

This book provides practical tips and strategies for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The author understands the emotional rollercoaster that parents go through after getting an ASD diagnosis for their child. The book aims to help parents understand their child’s condition better and learn ways to cope with challenging behaviors.The book contains many actionable examples that parents can implement immediately. Unlike many other books on this topic, this book acknowledges the finite energy and patience that parents have in dealing with a child with ASD. There is a new challenge, crisis or dilemma to navigate each day, and parents struggle with new anxieties constantly.The advice and strategies provided could help alleviate some of the daily stress and provide more patience and empathy.
