Parenting is a touchy subject within many autistic spaces. This is because autistic advocates have a history of fighting with parents. Some autistic people have bad relationships with their own parents. Parents get all kinds of information when their kid gets an autism diagnosis. It can be hard to know whose advice is worth trusting over others. There is plenty of writing from autistic people that gives good advice to parents. This includes books like Sincerely, Your Autistic Child. There are also autistic people who are parents themselves. This category includes writings about what autistic people want parents to know. It also has autistic people talking about their own experiences as parents. You will also find writings from non-autistic parents. These parents have worked within the neurodiversity movement and the autistic community.
