"There are so many things I wish I could have told my parents when I was a child, but back then I did not have the words."
It can be challenging understanding what your autistic child wants and needs, at times it can feel like a struggle to ask the right questions and find the right words.
Written by autistic academic and advocate, Maja Toudal, in collaboration with other autistic voices, this candid book explores a range of common situational and social challenges an autistic young person may face and gives lived-experience advice on how to resolve them. Maja offers insights on everything from making mealtimes work for your child, to handling bullying and peer pressure, both at school and on social media, providing an insider's guide into the child's emotional life.
With relatable and engaging advice on what your child needs and why, alongside chapters focusing on how to approach puberty, providing coping mechanisms for meltdowns, and offering insight into making safe spaces, this is the essential guide to parenting autistic young people.

Maja Toudal is an autistic psychologist, speaker, self-advocate and author from Denmark. She has worked internationally in autism communication since 2010, primarily as a speaker and support staff at conferences, parent groups and local networking groups for autistic people. In her clinical work, working with autism and related conditions, she takes a neuro-affirmative approach, while acknowledging the real-life challenges that may require adaptive strategies for the individual.
In 2016 she published her first book, What Your Child With Asperger's Wants You To Know, combining her personal and professional knowledge to educate and advise parents on the inner life of their autistic children. This book was re-published in 2022, under the title What Your Autistic Child Wants You To Know.
Currently, she focuses on clinical work and future book projects, as well as the podcast Autistic Tidbits and Tangents, which she hosts alongside Dr. Kara Dymond and Bruce Petherick.
