You may recognize this

Maybe you are trying to figure all of this out alone

He is bright, but he struggles to make friends.

She comes home from school completely drained.

My son seems to handle everything, but falls apart once he gets home.

Why does he seem so anxious about small changes?

I got the diagnosis, but no one explained what to do next.

I am an adult and I am finally understanding why I always felt different.

If any of these experiences are part of your life, this book was written for you.

Who this book is for

Written for those who need answers after the diagnosis

Families of children and teenagers

To understand behaviors that are often read as laziness, defiance, exaggeration, or lack of interest — and to learn better ways to offer support.

Recently diagnosed people

To understand what the diagnosis means, recognize support needs, and find a possible path after so many questions.

Adults who recognize themselves

To make sense of experiences that went unexplained for years, including social difficulties, overload, anxiety, rigidity, and a constant feeling of not fitting in.

Professionals and educators

To better understand the less obvious presentations of level 1 autism and offer fairer, more individualized, more humane care.

Dr. Estéfani Ortiz reading the book Autism Level 1. Now What?

Dr. Estéfani Ortiz is a pediatric neurologist dedicated to the study of neurodevelopment and to supporting autistic people and their families. Her writing brings together scientific knowledge, clinical experience, and a human understanding of difficulties that often remain invisible.
