About this item
Your teen is ready to launch—but are you?
For parents of autistic and twice-exceptional (2e) adolescents, the transition from high school to young adulthood can feel overwhelming. The Breakaway: A Parent’s Guide to Transitioning the Autistic and Twice-Exceptional Adolescent Into Young Adulthood provides a clear, compassionate roadmap to help your family move from uncertainty to confidence.
Drawing on decades of experience working with neurodivergent teens and their families, Dr. Thomas W. Welch, Psy.D., offers practical strategies for guiding your young adult toward greater independence, purpose, and self-advocacy.
Inside you’ll discover how to:
• Support level 1–2 autism and 2e teens through the crucial transition to adulthood.
• Build essential executive-function and daily living skills.
• Create individualized college, career, and employment plans that fit your teen’s strengths.
• Foster self-confidence, resilience, and meaningful independence.
• Shift from managing your teen’s life to mentoring their growth.
With relatable stories, planning tools, and actionable advice, The Breakaway bridges the gap between adolescence and adulthood for neurodivergent families. Whether your young adult is preparing for college, entering the workforce, or still developing the skills for independence, this guide equips you with insight and structure to make the journey smoother—and more hopeful.
If you’re ready to help your autistic or twice-exceptional teen thrive beyond high school, this is your guide to a confident launch into adulthood.
