Understanding Autism Together: A Comprehensive, Positive Approach to Telling a Child About Their Autism Diagnosis is a one of a kind product that assists caregivers as they tell their child they are Autistic. 
 
This product is neurodiversity-affirming and shares information about Autism and neurodiversity in a positive manner. It supports caregivers as they navigate their own emotions and biases, as well as the Autistic child as they learn to better understand and accept themselves for who they are. 
 
For caregivers, it covers the whys, whens, and hows to go about telling their child they are Autistic.
