"A Compassionate Guide for Parents"
As an autistic mother of an autistic son, I found this book to be both practical and respectful. Andrea Burgio-Murphy writes with clarity and heart. What I appreciated most is how the book empowers parents to work with their child's brain, not against it. It doesn't push compliance or rigid goals but encourages connection, curiosity, and attunement.
