Family relationships

Nurturing connection and understanding within your family

Raising an autistic or PDA child doesn’t just affect one person - it shapes the whole family. In this section, we explore how to support healthy, compassionate relationships within your family, including parenting together as a team, navigating differences in approach, and making space for siblings’ needs and feelings. We also look at how to manage expectations from extended family and others, and how to make decisions that feel right for your family.
