Do you feel overwhelmed and alone in raising your autistic child? Are you seeking solutions and empowerment on this journey?
As a fellow autism parent, I understand those sleepless nights spent worrying about the future. I know the heartache when your child struggles with bullies or meltdowns. But I also recognize your child’s unique strengths and capabilities.
In “Ausome Parenting,” I invite you to join me in shifting the narrative. This is not a story of hardship, but of hope. Of forging a profound connection with your wonderful child. Of nurturing their growth in an environment of unconditional love and acceptance.
With research-backed strategies and wisdom from my own journey, I provide a practical roadmap so you can:
• Deeply understand autism and embrace your child’s neurodiversity
• Identify early red flags and signs of autism with actionable checklists
• Uncover your child’s strengths and nurture their self-esteem
• Advocate for your child’s needs at school and in your community
• Build an empowering support network as a family
• And above all, foster a life of belonging, compassion, and limitless potential for your child
This book acknowledges the realities, yet shines a light on possibilities. My goal is to equip you with resilience, optimism, and practical tools so you can help your child thrive.

Tagline: Her last chance may end her life.
Book Description:
Seventeen-year-old Vivienne Barston’s life has fallen apart.
With her mother recently dead, her father disappears into his grief – leaving Viv to deal with her sadness and anger alone. To cope, Viv turns to destructive behaviors like petty vandalism, and after a disturbing stint in a juvenile detention center frightens her, Viv agrees to a court mandated service opportunity designed to expunge her record. The deal: work for six weeks with a trail conservation crew in the rural woods of southern Oregon, and she’ll be free with a clean slate.
She knows it’s her last chance to fix her life.
When Viv arrives at the small town of Hard Luck, Oregon, she meets her motley crewmates, all with troubles of their own. The unusual group travels to Grafton Stake, a remote and derelict former asylum with a haunted history–and now Viv must face the ghosts of the past while fighting for her future.
Excerpt:
Fivefaces looked up at her entrance: two girls and three guys. They sat around aconference table in office chairs that were sleek, professional, and out ofplace in the rustic lodge. An open box of cheap pastries rested at the center ofthe table, surrounded by water bottles, sodas, and napkins. A pile of hiker’sbackpacks rested in the corner of the room. Viv cast the others a quick glance,then placed her pack next to the pile. She picked a chair at the end of thetable, closest to the door.
Vivfound five pairs of eyes studying her. She felt grubby after a long day onpublic transportation and tried not to squirm under the scrutiny.
“What’syour name?” one of the girls demanded.
“Viv.”She didn’t inquire about their names. None of them were there to make friends.
Thegirl who had demanded Viv’s name opened her mouth to say more but wasinterrupted by the arrival of a woman in her thirties with thin black hairpulled into a low ponytail, nut-brown skin, and a stocky, muscular build. Thewoman walked with authority and purpose, her shoulders back and her headupright, and when she came to a stop at the head of the conference table, shecast an assessing gaze over Viv.
“Youmust be Vivienne.” It wasn’t a question.
Vivnodded.
“Welcome.”The woman didn’t smile. “I’m Helen Whiteaker, and I run this program. You willreport to me for the duration of your time here.” Helen’s dark eyes held asteel promise of order.
Vivfound herself sitting up a bit straighter.
Helenswept a glance around the room. “We’re all here, so let’s start.” She then eyedthe pastries in the center of the table. “I’d eat those if I were you. Ourmeals over the next six weeks won’t be spectacular.”
Oneof the boys reached for a Danish.
Thisseemed to satisfy Helen. “Welcome to the Conservation Corps for Teens. Let’sdiscuss what you’re here to work on for the next six weeks. At the direction ofthe Bureau of Land Management and the local county council, we’ll be providingthe grunt labor for the demolition and cleanup of Grafton Stake, a localinstitution with several old buildings. We will also build a trail system,campsites, and recreational day sites around the area. The goal of our work isto help create a park-like setting for a future campground and visitor’s center.”
Helen paused. “Does anyone have questions?”
Noone responded. The boy with the Danish ate loudly, without closing his mouth.Viv winced at the sight, then looked away. The squelching noise turned herstomach.
Heleneyed Danish Boy with a flicker of amusement in her eyes before continuing. “Wehave a tight schedule and will need to work fast. We work eight hours a day,every Monday through Friday, with lunches and breaks. Weekends will be spent atthe campsite, or in town for short durations.”
Helenpaused again and looked around the conference room with her eyebrows raised.When no one said anything, she sighed. “I’m going to be blunt: none of you arehere because you want to be here.”
Vivfelt the impact of the words like a dash of cold water across the face. She sawthe others react, too, shifting uncomfortably in their seats or staring at thefloor or the ceiling.
Helenstared at the table. “For various legal and privacy reasons, I do not know thespecifics of why you are here, but I will not tolerate any insubordination ordisruption on my team. If you misbehave, I will ship you home without a secondchance. This is a job. You will be paid a stipend at the end of the sixweeks—or a prorated amount for the time you’ve spent in this program. I expect professionalbehavior from each of you, towards me and towards each other.
Thatmeans no sex, no drugs, no shit talking, and no fights.”
Theconference room was still. Viv’s stomach roiled with anxiety. She almostadmired how efficiently Helen had asserted control over the group.
“Really?” Helen cast a skeptical glance around theroom. “No questions at all?”

Tagline: Don’t go into Room 214
Book Description:
"Hi, I'm Moon and this is my story. It all started with a terrible cold. When the lady in purple promised my mother that Clearlake Institute would be able to cure me without the use of modern medicine, my mom was hooked.
There was nothing I could do, or say, that could’ve changed her mind. She was determined from the moment we set foot on a remote island far, far away from everyone else, until the moment we were separated, and I was trapped in a creepy, gothic hospital."
Clearlake Institute was hiding something!
Deep beneath the shadows, something sinister was brewing - darkened halls, strange doctors, ghastly nurses that watch your every move, and children who are sent into Room 217 never to return.
Aided by the other children she meets at the institute, Moon Rains embarks on a perilous, suspenseful adventure to uncover the secrets of the Clearlake Institute.
Now, the race against time begins. Will Moon and her friends make it out before it’s too late? Or will Clearlake claim them as its next set of victims?
Excerpt
There will come a time when you wonder, how did a girl like me end upin a place like Clearlake and mortal danger? Well, it all started with aterrible cold. At first, it was just a blocked nose. Then a sore throat,nothing major. About a week later, I got a temperature. And the blocked nosegot worse. Much worse. I lost all sense of smell and the ability to breathe.Snot kept trickling down from my nostril to my top lip, and I had topersistently wipe it off with my sleeve or taste the said snot. I had aheadache. A constant, nagging, relentless headache as if a woodpecker wasincessantly pecking above the bridge of my nose.
I was thirteen at the time and missed so many days of school that mymother got fined by the government. Now, I know what you’re thinking - anyresponsible parent would have taken their offspring to a GP if the wretchedillness hadn’t gone away within a week. Well, not my mother.
My mother didn’t trust Western Medicine, you see, particularly vaccinesand antibiotics. As far as she was concerned, those two were the source of allevil. I count myself incredibly lucky that, so far, I have managed to avoidcatching something particularly nasty like Rubella, Mumps, or Measles. I’ve neverhad anything more severe than a cold, in fact. And while most colds went awaywithout intervention, other than a honey, lemon and gin concoction (which wassurprisingly effective, never mind that I was far too young to take it), thiscold proved to be something else entirely.
About a week in, my mother marched into my room early in the morning.Loud, insistent stomps woke me up from a hazy, feverish dream. She touched myforehead with the tips of her fingers and raised her eyebrow, nodding as ifeverything was going according to plan.
“Well, I think I know what will finally do the trick,” she said.
I rolled my eyes. Well, not actually. Not on the outside. The outsideshe could see. I rolled my eyes on the inside, imagining them going so farinside their sockets that all that was left were the white bits.
“Beetroot!” she exclaimed, her voice chiming like a Christmas bell.
“Beetroot?” I yawned, and a few tears seeped out of the corners of myeyes. I wasn’t sure if the yawn caused it or the ever-escalating feeling ofutter desperation.
“A few drops of beetroot juice inside your nose three times a day, andyou will be good as new. I promise.”
She made similar promises a lot.
“If you stick a clove of garlic in each nostril overnight, in themorning… Poof. Cured. Gone. I promise.”
“Breathing over a pot with hot potatoes and a duvet over your head willopen up the sinuses and unleash the phlegm. All of the gunk will stream out.You’ll see. I promise.”
“If you do a wee in a little pot and then take some of that wee with alittle pipette that I’ve got here for you and…”
“NO!”
I drew the line at urotherapy, as it was apparently called, and it didtake quite a bit of courage to stand up to my mother. She fussed and frettedbut couldn’t get me to administer urine into my nose.

Excerpt:
Theneverything froze. Joni, the customers, the cars outside. All movement simplystopped. The chime on the front door sounded. My throat went dry. Somehow, Iknew what was happening. I knew who had arrived, though I didn’t understand howor why.
Twisting around, I peered over the rim of the booth. Standing in the doorwaywas the man from my hallucinations, a creature of the dark plains. Tall andslim, broad-shouldered, dark in aspect. That same man had beheaded a snake inmy kitchen. Not my kitchen, I reminded myself. The illusion of my kitchen, partof the same hallucination of an impossible world. The Hunting Grounds, he’dcalled it. Where we go to hunt souls.
Mymind spun with the impossibility of what I was seeing. He couldn’t be real. Yet here he was, in Joni’s shop. Except, he looked different. His hairwas peppered gray instead of black. His skin seemed a shade darker. Or maybelighter? It was like wrapping my head around a mirage, trying to remember whathe looked like in my nightmares. But the simple force of his presence, thequiet luminescence of his spirit, was unmistakable. That was him.
Without so much as a glance in my direction, the man stepped into the shop andstarted toward the counter. Everything stirred at once. Several people lookedhis way. Joni let go a long, low whistle.
“Well,I’ll be!” she exclaimed. "We haven’t had anyone that drop-dead gorgeous walkin here since…Well, ever!”
Shekept staring, mouth agape, as he ordered coffee. Then her face lit up, and shejumped into action, wiping down the table next to me.
“I’vegot an idea,” she said. “I think you should go for him.”
“What?”I croaked.
“He’stotally your style.”
“Idon’t date men in suits.”
“Whatare you talking about?” She laughed. “Look at him! It’s fate. I can feel it.”
“Joni–”
“Sir!”She called. “Sir, we’ve got an empty table right over here. Next to thewindows.”
Holycrap! I sank deeper into my seat. “I’m serious, Joni! Send him somewhere else.”
“Straightenup, beautiful.” She patted me on the shoulder. “Give it a shot. What’ve you gotto lose?”
Thenshe was gone. I cast about frantically for an escape, but there was no backexit from the booth. Unless I wanted to crash through the window. Could I do that?Crash through the window?
Yeah,I could do that. But I’d have to leave my insects behind, and –
And there he was, taking the table next to me. His chair scraped against thefloor. His clothes rustled as he settled in. Minutes passed while my heartpounded inside my chest. I kept my face turned, pretended to stare out thewindow, wondered whether it would hurt to feel the glass shatter against myskin.
Idletalk filled the coffee shop. Customers came and went, orders were taken, steamforced through frothing milk.
Stillthe man said nothing.
I snuck a glance in his direction. Damn, he washandsome. Heart stoppingly so. Desire tugged at my gut, a strangely familiarsense of attraction, as if we’d known each other before this moment. As if I’dbeen bound to him in a time before memory.
