If you’re considering this book, chances are you’re tired. Not just physically—but emotionally. You’ve likely spent years adapting, explaining, accommodating, advocating, worrying, and recalibrating. You may feel caught between love and frustration, hope and grief, patience and exhaustion. And perhaps most painfully, you may feel alone in a stage of parenting that few people talk about honestly.

This book takes a different approach. Instead of focusing on diagnoses, labels, or childhood interventions, it focuses on capacity-building in late adolescence and young adulthood. Instead of asking, “Why won’t they grow up?” …it asks, “What skills are still developing—and how do we support them now?” Instead of urgency and fear, it offers direction and steadiness. This book is for parents who feel they are carrying more than their share—emotionally, practically, and financially.

This book is written for parents whose autistic sons or daughters:

• Are older teens or young adults still living at home
• Struggle with emotional regulation and maturity
• Have difficulty with independence, responsibility, and follow-through
• Need ongoing support with life skills, social skills, or employment readiness
• Appear “stuck,” uneven in development, or overwhelmed by adulthood
