Could I Really Be Autistic?
Your First Steps to Self-Discovery
By Sarah Hendrickx, Jess Hendrickx
Perhaps a child in your family has been diagnosed as autistic, your therapist has suggested it, or people you know have called you 'Rain Man' throughout your life. Whatever the reason, here you are, either seeking to confirm or dispel the idea that you might be autistic. Written by two experts in autism assessment, this is a pathway for you to explore the likelihood of meeting the diagnostic threshold for autism, while offering advice on possible next steps. With guidance on ways autism can manifest in day-to-day life, factors that prompt people to wrongly dismiss the label (I'm too old/clever/social/ married!), commonly co-occurring conditions, and alternative explanations for autistic traits - this will help you decide whether a professional assessment is appropriate, and give you the best chance of an accurate outcome should you seek one.

The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself
A Mindful Guide to Embracing a New Way of Living and Learning With Your Child

Esther Jones gently encourages you to navigate this journey with curiosity and self-compassion and provides you with a clear path forward in your next step in accompanying your child in their learning. Extremely relevant for parents of a neurodivergent child, this book packed with practical suggestions and exercises, as well as stories from parents who have walked this path before, including Esthers own lived experiences.
