“Working with The Autism Guide has been the greatest gift to navigating our autism journey. From the time my son was diagnosed at age 3, Monique has helped guide me, coach me, and truly support me through the ups, downs, and everything in between. She has taught me how to be the best advocate for my son and has helped me decipher his IEP and push for (and receive) a 1:1 aide, helped me navigate the benefits that the regional center offers (such as camps & respite care), and helped me tackle the IHSS application with ease. I highly recommend any autism parent work Monique, she is extremely informed, knows how to help you advocate for what your child deserves, and does it all with a layer of calmness that makes you feel like you're going to be okay.”

“I cannot thank Monique from The Autism Guide enough, for all she has done for me. She has healed lifelong trauma and pain that I have been holding onto for far too long. She has pushed and inspired me to find ways to fill my cup, to explore new passions, and confirm my purpose in this life. Most importantly, she has given me the tools to become a healthier and happier Mom. I'm so blessed and grateful for you Monique. 💛.”

“I’m so lucky to have met Monique from The Autism Guide! When I first learned about my son’s diagnosis, I felt helpless and overwhelmed. There was no time to do my own research. With Monique’s guidance on the different resources and how to navigate these complex programs, I was able to get the support he needs, as a result, I’m happier. Her work is so impactful! ”
