You just left the doctor’s office.
You suspected this for a while.
Hearing it out loud is something else entirely.
Your child has autism.
Your mind is already reeling toward what comes next.
How do you tell your child?
How do you tell your family?
Will their friends still want to come over? Will they start treating your child like someone different?
What changes at school tomorrow morning?
Do you ask for a special education classroom, or fight to keep your child where they are?
Are there things you should request that you don’t even know to ask for yet?
By 1 a.m., you’re scrolling through articles you don’t trust, looking for the one that finally answers the question you can’t put down.
Hi, I’m Abby.
For years, I’ve sat beside parents on the day after the diagnosis.
You’re awash in questions.
I’ll give you the resources you need for the next steps, named and sequenced.
Together, we’ll work out what to say to your child, your family, and the school.
I’ll teach you, the parent, how to support your child.
You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
I’m also here to support your child now that you have a clearer sense of what’s been going on with them.
My training has provided me with a clinical understanding of how the autistic mind works.
I also have the hands-on ability to help your child tell me what they need to be successful.
My experience in schools has given me insight into how school plans work. I can add any missing pieces to ensure that your child receives the best care in service of their growth.
All you want is the best for your child; all I want is for you to help your child succeed and be happy.
The cascade of questions doesn’t have to keep you up tonight.
Bring them to me. We’ll start there.
Why wait any longer?

There's a version of your life where your child feels safe in their own skin. Where dinner is just dinner. Where 2 am is for sleeping. That version starts with a conversation.
