What if the “tough love” you’ve been told to use by everyone from friends and family to supposed “experts” is the very thing keeping your autistic emerging adult stuck? I know that heartbreak. I’ve lived that fear. And after years of watching my son spiral despite doing “everything right,” I discovered a better way—one that led him (and our family) out of survival mode and into real, lasting change. He is thriving today beyond my wildest dreams. Now I’m sharing that journey—and the proven framework behind it—with parents like you.
Love, Patty
Watch: How the Book Came to Be
🎥
📣“You NEED to get this information out there.” That’s what parents kept telling me.
✨After years of coaching families and seeing real transformation—relationships healed, autistic emerging adults thriving—I knew I had to share what I’d learned.
🧠 These tools don’t exist in mainstream parenting books. That’s why I wrote Parenting for Independence for parents of autistic emerging adults who were stuck.
📚 If you’ve read all the books and still feel stuck…this is the one that’s different.

Watch: When Helping Hurts🎥
📣What if the way you are “helping” your emerging adult is part of what is holding them back?
🦋When a butterfly is emerging from its chrysalis, the struggle is what gives it the strength to fly.
💪The same is true for your autistic emerging adult.
🌱They need the right kind of struggle to grow—and you can help them navigate it if you know what to do and not do.

Watch: One Terrifying Moment
🎥
📣“Mommy, why are you hurting me?” That question from my five-year-old stopped me cold.
🧩I didn’t know then that his experience of the world was fundamentally different—and that traditional parenting advice would only make things worse.
💡This book began with moments like that—terrifying, confusing, and filled with love—and the determination to find answers that actually helped.
🤝If you’ve ever felt like something important is missing from the advice you’ve been given, you’re not alone—and there is a better way.
