A warm, relatable and deeply humanising book, rooted in acceptance and real-life experience. Combining practical advice with genuine understanding, it empowers families to navigate autism and learning disability with confidence and hope. Essential reading not only for parent carers, but for professionals seeking to better understand and support autistic and learning disabled children and their families.
Tom and Paula McGowan OBE, founders of Oliver's Campaign and the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism
A beautifully written and from the heart exploration of parenting autistic children and/or children with intellectual disabilities. The book offers thoughtful and practical ideas around making family life workable and fun while not shying away from potential challenges. The authors bring a wealth of personal and professional experience and draw on interviews with other families to create an important, rich and invaluable resource.

The authors have drawn on their personal experiences and learnings as parents and also as professionals to give honest and empowering guidance for families.
Baroness Sheila Hollins, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry of Learning Disability at St George's, University of London
An essential read for parents and professionals. Packed with practical tips and emotional insights. Written from a deeply personal perspective with the advantage of the authors being parents and experienced professionals in this field. A much needed resource and an enjoyable and thought provoking read.
