In this episode of The Regulated Parent, Toyer and Kay Jappie go beyond the diagnosis to ask what a genuine system of care should look like.

For parents, we explore what to do after diagnosis without feeling that you have to solve your child’s entire future at once.

For paediatricians and clinicians, we ask how we can move beyond the referral list, hold the whole child in view, create more neuro-affirming consultations and connect care beyond the consulting room.

For grandparents and extended family, we talk about one of the most powerful things you can offer: learn the child, believe the family and become a place where that child does not have to perform in order to belong.

Because we can have excellent paediatricians, excellent therapists, excellent teachers and excellent services, and still have fragmented care.

We have become very good at referring the child.
Now we need to become better at holding the whole child.

The goal is not to build a team of professionals around autism.

The goal is to build a connected circle of care around a human being.
