Workbook
Know Your Autistic Child
A Parent's Field Guide to the First Year After Diagnosis
Your child is not broken. The world was not built for their mind.
For the parent in the first year after their child's autism diagnosis, ready to know their child as a person rather than manage them as a category.
The Name It First Experience
Your child was diagnosed. Now you are flooded with clinical language, therapy options, and fear. This workbook cuts through. Through observation tools, sensory mapping, communication profile work, and family adaptation, you will come to know your autistic child — their specific needs, their actual strengths, the family changes that let them thrive. You leave with Your Autistic Child Profile. The output is not a treatment plan. It is a document of who your child is.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- Before the diagnosis, what did you already know about your child — the specific ways they experienced the world that were theirs alone?
- What is the recurring moment that tells you most clearly when your child is regulated and when they are not — and what usually comes right before each?
- Who is your autistic child beyond the diagnosis — and what does your family need to change to honor their neurology instead of fighting it?
