Just received a diagnosis for your child? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
 
Hearing that your child is autistic, has ADHD, anxiety, or another neurodevelopmental difference can stir up a whirlwind of emotions. Relief. Grief. Confusion. And a deep desire to do right by them, even when you’re still processing it all yourself.
 
It’s a lot. But there is a path forward, and it doesn’t have to be chaotic or overwhelming.
 
As a clinical psychologist who has supported hundreds of families through this process, I created this resource to walk you through those first few steps with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
 
This isn’t a clinical textbook. It’s the guide I wish every parent had when they leave the assessment room wondering, “What now?”
 
Inside, you’ll find:
Clear, parent-friendly explanations of diagnoses like Autism, ADHD, anxiety, sensory processing differences and more
A practical action plan tailored to early post-diagnosis life
Guidance on who to tell, how to build your support team, and what services actually help
Insights into therapies, co-occurring challenges, and what to prioritise first (without burning out)
 
This is about moving from panic to purpose. From second-guessing to feeling informed, empowered, and ready to support your child in a way that works for them, and for you.
 
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a starting point that actually makes sense.
 
Let this be it. I’ll show you the way forward.
