autism

Can anyone recommend any books that have helped them be a better parent to an ASD child? 

Ideally aimed at ASD level 1 (what used to be called high functioning), but I'll take anything!

My kiddo is considered ‘level 1’ + adhd

Really loved Ross Greene’s The Explosive Child for parents of kids who can get easily frustrated and/or experience rigidity etc

And pretty much anything by Dan Siegel - https://drdansiegel.com/books/

Also ‘Smart but scattered’ for executive function stuff

Thanks, I bought the explosive child and read half last night. Really helpful.

It was suuuper helpful for us.. it’s hard to implement everything he talks about but even just reading & doing what we could in terms of our own ways of being has been super helpful.

Also, not sure how old your kiddo is but PCIT (parent child interactive training) helped us a lot 💜💜
