Don't Just Survive the Teenage Years -- Discover the Proven Strategies That Help Parents and Daughters Truly Connect and Grow Together.
Parenting a teenage girl is never simple -- but when your daughter is autistic, the teenage years can feel very isolating and lonely.
Puberty, social media, sensory overload, self-doubt, and constant masking... it can all become overwhelming for the entire family. The world rarely understands what autistic girls need, and most parenting advice wasn't written for families like yours.
That's where this book comes in.
Written by an autistic educator, mother, and advocate, Raising an Autistic Teenage Girl offers a compassionate, insightful, and practical roadmap for guiding your daughter through the turbulent teenage years -- without trying to "fix" her.
Instead, this guide focuses on building her up and nurturing self-acceptance, while giving you the confidence and tools to support her as her strongest ally.
Here's what awaits inside:
• Proven techniques and exercises to boost your teen's self-esteem -- help her set meaningful goals, establish boundaries, and celebrate her authenticity
• Strategies to help her manage her sensory needs and find relief in times of stress -- featuring exercises for boosting vagal tone and obtaining sensory relief

• Tips for making the most of the online world while igniting bullying and cyberbullying awareness and creating a safe circle for your teen
• Key information on sexuality and dating, plus how to teach your child about consent, boundaries, and dating "rules"
• How to get your child ready for independent life -- from practical life skills to boosting her interest in further learning and her professional life -- this book's got you cove
Grounded in the lived experiences of autistic women and teens, this book doesn't sugarcoat the challenges -- but it also doesn't accept defeat.
It will empower you with science-backed advice, reflective exercises, and hopeful insights to help your daughter embrace who she is -- and discover the future that's right for her.
