Description

A Better Way Is Possible

If your autistic emerging adult is stuck -- avoiding demands, disconnected from goals, and refusing your help -- you're not alone. Parent and founder of Thrive Autism Coaching Patty Laushman has helped hundreds of families -- and her own son -- move from shutdown and burnout to a thriving, self-directed life.

Progress is possible, and Parenting for Independence is designed for parents of autistic emerging adults who appear stuck, unmotivated, or unwilling to launch into adult life, including those with the PDA profile. With practical strategies, neuroscience-informed insights, and a clear roadmap, Laushman equips parents to move from frustration and disempowerment to clarity and confidence.

In this accessible guide, Laushman introduces her evidence-informed, compassion-centered SBN? parenting framework, a structured approach to activating intrinsic motivation, supporting autonomy, and building momentum toward your individual child's optimal level of independence and positive interdependence. With it, you'll acquire a toolbox of skills to help your autistic emerging adult gain momentum, even if they struggle with demand avoidance.

This book isn't just about parenting techniques -- it's about restoring hope. Strengthening your relationship with your emerging adult, protecting your own energy and well-being, and helping your child live their best life is possible, and that work starts now.
