What Now, Mama?

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.

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:

â"ï¸� Simple breakdowns of therapies, IEPs, and sensory tools

â"ï¸� Scripts and strategies for school meetings, meltdowns, and burnout

â"ï¸� Journal pages, visual trackers, and calming plans-for you and your child

â"ï¸� Encouragement without toxic positivity

â"ï¸� A workbook section you'll actually want to se

Whether you're processing the news, fighting for service, 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.
