Raising a non-verbal autistic kid is a rollercoaster - especially as a single dad. In this no-nonsense, often laugh-out-loud funny guide to parenting an autistic child, James Guttman shares everything he's learnt about fatherhood - including reckoning with traditional masculinity and care roles; creating a unique communication style with your autistic child; navigating relationships with family and community- and moving from autism acceptance to autism appreciation.With an exploration of the specific challenges facing male carers in this space, this book will help dads, and parents of all genders, reach a point of understanding, equilibrium and joy on their parenting journey.
