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

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 💜💜

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

Anyway, I will post here if I come across anything that helps! Cheers

Thanks! I listen to UH and read the reason i jump - actually as a result of the recommendation in this channel. They are great at helping to understand the condition.

I often wish I knew more effective ways to respond to the things that come with the condition. I feel I do/say the wrong thing a lot.

uniquely human (+ the podcast).

those 2 were great starters for me when my son was diagnosed at 4 yo (also high functioning).

Can you guys share some resources for parents who are new to a diagnosis? (pods, books, online guides, newsletters, follows on X etc.)

Such an important and confusing period of time for those parents.

my wife & I read this book & both found it very insightful & felt very seen in reading through the author and her sons experiences. I don't agree with all of the conclusions in it, but still highly recommend...
