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.
