It Takes a Village

by Lhara Mullins

Navigating the Journey of Parenting Your Autistic Child

We all have a picture in our heads of what life will be like as a parent. But what happens when it isn’t
like that? This is the gut-wrenching reality for many parents of children diagnosed with, or awaiting a diagnosis of, autism. In It Takes a Village, Lhara writes honestly and openly about her extensive experience as a parent of three amazing autistic children.

She considers the practical difficulties and emotional challenges many parents of autistic children struggle with, and also shares some of the joys of life with a neurodiverse child, presenting a raw insight into her reality as a parent navigating the world of autism with her three children.

This book blends Lhara’s family’s experiences with expert research and literature, to offer realistic and practical ideas and solutions for helping your child and your
family. More than anything, It Takes a Village offers reassurance that you’re not alone on your journey through autism as a parent.

Lhara shares her experiences of assessment and diagnosis, along with parenting her children through issues such as peer rejection in school, challenging behaviour and managing changes and transitions. She also offers her candid experiences of times when she felt she couldn’t cope, and discusses coping when you’re not coping. It Takes a Village provides invaluable advice and support to the parents of autistic children, but will also prove useful to teachers, psychologists and all those working with autistic children. It offers hope on the darkest days to parents who are feeling overwhelmed, and celebrates the wonders of neurodiversity
