Most parenting resources for autistic children are written from a white, Western perspective, leaving global majority families navigating a system that doesn't understand their culture, their values, or their reality. This book is a direct response to that gap.


Writing from her unique lived experience as a late-diagnosed South Asian AuDHD mother, a former solicitor and ombudsman, and a neurodiversity consultant, Reena Anand confronts the complex issues that global majority parents face. This compassionate and practical guide moves beyond generic advice to tackle the real-world challenges of navigating diagnosis, education, and healthcare systems that are often rife with cultural and racial bias.


Packed with culturally grounded strategies, this neurodiversity-affirming book explores the intersection of race, faith, and disability. It offers insight into the impact of entrenched gender stereotypes, and practical guidance on strategies for effectively communicating a diagnosis and setting out practical tips for supporting families in everyday life. It is the first guide to meet global majority parents where they are, empowering them to challenge systemic barriers and raise happy, thriving autistic children who are proud of their entire identity.
