Sincerely, Your Autistic Child: What People on the Autism Spectrum Wish Their Parents Knew About Growing Up, Acceptance, and Identity

Sincerely, Your Autistic Child: What People on the Autism Spectrum Wish Their Parents Knew About Growing Up, Acceptance, and Identity

A rare and diverse collection of autistic voices that highlights to parents the unique needs of girls and nonbinary people who are growing up with autism.

Most resources available for parents come out of the medical model of disability--from psychologists, educators, parents, and doctors--offering parents a narrow and technical approach to autism. Furthermore, it is widely believed that many autistic girls and women are underdiagnosed, which has further limited the information available regarding the unique needs of girls and nonbinary people with autism.

Sincerely, Your Autistic Child represents an authentic resource for parents and others who care about autism written by people who understand this experience most, autistic people themselves. From childhood and education to culture, gender identity, and sexuality, this anthology of autistic contributors tackles the everyday challenges of growing up while honestly addressing the emotional needs, sensitivity, and vibrancy of the autistic community with a special focus on autistic girls and nonbinary people. Written like letters to parents, the contributors reflect on what they have learned while growing up with autism and how parents can avoid common mistakes and overcome challenges while raising their child.

Sincerely, Your Autistic Child calls parents to action by raising awareness and redefining "normal" in order to help parents make their child feel truly accepted, valued, and celebrated for who they are.

Martin Allen, Brigid Rankowski, Kassiane Asasumasu, Amelia “Mel” Evelyn Voicy Baggs, Lei Wiley-Mydske, Haley Moss, Lydia XZ Brown, Kayla Rodriguez, Amythest Schaber, Jennifer St. Jude, Maxfield Sparrow, Mallory Cruz, Amy Sequenzia, Karen Lean, Lynne Soraya, Kayla Smith, Alexandra Forshaw, Heidi Wangelin/HW, Victoria M. Rodríguez-Roldán, Jane Strauss, Ondrea Marisa Robinson, Katie Levin, Jean Winegardner, Dusya Lobanova, Emily Paige Ballou, Sharon daVanport, and Morénike Giwa Onaiwu.
