I’VE BEEN THERE TOO.
Meet Our Founder
Hi, I'm Monique Haithcock, and my journey took a transformative turn when my son was diagnosed with severe autism in 2014. As a parent, I understand the profound impact of receiving such life-altering news. Whether this comes a couple years after birth or later, it reshapes everything.
With a background in IT, my career path shifted dramatically as I discovered a passion for supporting parents new to autism. I dedicate myself to meeting families at the start of their journey, helping them navigate resources, services, and emotional challenges they face. From self-care and mental health to creating a support systems, The Autism Guide is here for you every step of the way.
IN THE PRESS
An Evening With Dr. Temple Grandin
Presented by Library Foundation SD
A Note From The Founder
“As a parent raising an autistic child, meeting and learning from Dr. Temple Grandin has been a highlight of my journey. She signed a book for my son Cameron, and we connected over him being nonspeaking and the progress he's making with spelling on letterboards. Thanks to the Library Foundation San Diego, she shared a presentation on her newest book, Different Kinds Of Minds, sensory sensitivities and how different kinds of minds are suited for different career paths. Learning from an autistic perspective is incredibly profound for a parent like me.”
