Description
Navigating your child’s diagnosis can feel overwhelming – whether you’re trying to figure out how to support them or how to help others understand their unique needs. A Child’s Diagnosis: A Mum’s Guide to Support and Helping Others ‘Get It’ is here to clear away the confusion with real, practical advice that’s easy to follow. It’s written specifically for mums who want to confidently support their neurodivergent children and make sure those around them really get it – from family members to teachers.
What You’ll Find in This Guide:
- Understanding Brains and Misconceptions About Autism: Learn about different brain types and common misconceptions about autism. I break down the social skills often misunderstood in neurodivergent kids, how sensory processing and emotional responses can differ, and the real harm that comes from trying to suppress Autistic or ADHD traits.
- Functioning Labels: Why They Miss the Mark: Explore why labels like ‘high-functioning’ or ‘low-functioning’ don’t tell the whole story. Plus, you might even discover some neurodivergent traits in yourself!
- How to Support a Neurodivergent Child: Get clear advice on what not to say, the types of support that don’t work, and how to interpret your child’s behaviour in a way that helps both of you. This section is packed with practical tips for helping your child feel seen and supported.
- Why Autistic Individuals Mask Their Behaviour: Learn why neurodivergent children often hide their true selves to fit in and how masking affects their well-being. This section gives you tools to help your child feel safe enough to be themselves.

Why I Made This Guide:
Let’s be real: Most resources about raising a neurodivergent child feel like they’re written by people who’ve never lived through it themselves. I’m tired of that. We deserve guides that actually get us – that understand the real-life struggles we face and give us the practical tools we need to support our kids, without the fluff. This guide isn’t full of clinical jargon or unrealistic advice – it’s written for mums like us who are living it every day.
Final Thoughts:
I created this guide to support you, not overwhelm you. Your feedback means everything to me, so please reach out if something feels unclear or if you have ideas on how to make it even better. My goal is for you to walk away from this guide feeling validated, empowered, and ready to advocate for your child.
Download now and start your journey with confidence. Let’s do this together – because your child deserves to be understood, and you deserve to feel supported every step of the way.
