The No-Fluff, First-Year Guide for Autism Moms Who Want Clarity, Calm, and a Plan
You just heard the word Autism-and everything shifted.
Now you're standing in a sea of acronyms, waitlists, and Google tabs… wondering what happens next.
This is the book you reach for when the diagnosis is fresh and the fog is real.
Written by a fellow Autism mom, What Now, Mama? is your no-judgment, straight-talking guide through the first year after diagnosis.
Inside, you'll find:
✔️ Simple breakdowns of therapies, IEPs, and sensory tools
✔️ Scripts and strategies for school meetings, meltdowns, and burnout
✔️ Journal pages, visual trackers, and calming plans-for you and your child
✔️ Encouragement without toxic positivity
✔️ A workbook section you'll actually want to use
Whether you're processing the news, fighting for services, or just trying to get through the day-this book meets you where you are.
You don't need a degree. You don't need perfection. You just need a plan.
A portion of every sale supports Caiden's Corner Foundation, helping families access sensory kits, training, and real-life support after diagnosis.
Bonus: Includes QR code access to our Amazon favorites list with regulation tools, books, and mom essentials.
This isn't a book about Autism.
It's a book about you-navigating it, surviving it, and starting to own it.
