Philadelphia, PA—As Autism Awareness Month spotlights the need for greater understanding and support, Kelly Childs is drawing national attention with her new best-selling book, Raising Autism: What No One Told Me About Navigating the Spectrum.
Early readers have praised Childs’ blend of personal insights and practical advice, highlighting the book’s ability to guide parents, caregivers, and educators through the complex journey of raising a child on the spectrum.
Childs, an entrepreneur and dedicated mother, wrote Raising Autism after witnessing the struggles her daughter, Jaylah, faced from an early age. By weaving together candid anecdotes with actionable resources, Childs offers readers a clear roadmap—from early intervention strategies and navigating Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to forming supportive communities and preparing teens for independence.
“Kelly has provided an honest and uplifting guide that reaches far beyond her own story,” says one early reviewer. “Her approach reminds us that, with the right knowledge and support, children on the spectrum can and do thrive.”
