Can anyone recommend any books that have helped them be a better parent to an ASD child? 

Ideally aimed at ASD level 1 (what used to be called high functioning), but I'll take anything!

uniquely human (+ the podcast).

the reason i jump.

those 2 were great starters for me when my son was diagnosed at 4 yo (also high functioning).

Thanks! I listen to UH and read the reason i jump - actually as a result of the recommendation in this channel. They are great at helping to understand the condition.

I often wish I knew more effective ways to respond to the things that come with the condition. I feel I do/say the wrong thing a lot.

Anyway, I will post here if I come across anything that helps! Cheers

And actually... I just now saw your post from before I joined the channel, with a similar question about resources. Lots of good suggestions there. Should have started by looking back :) .I'll go through that.

Thanks. My son is also 9. He's had an ADHD diagnosis since 6 but his cloud of traits incudes a lot from the ASD side (and doc says he would easily get that diagnosis if sought). It's that stuff that's causing him the most heartache currently. Appreciate all the help.

yes they really are.

also just DM me. my son ios now 9, so been through alot!
