Hello and welcome

One book ive found useful is 'multicoloured mayhem' by jacqui jackson, it's about a mother of a number of different neurodiverse children. I hope you find the support you need here. Hoping to get a parent to help moderate the forum soon.

I don't mind, I just need a parent whose experienced in helping their autistic child navigate the education or other systems. I remember what school was like but I don't know how the special education system ieps etc works.

I've found some of the books aimed at partners of autistic/asperger folk to be quite offensive and downplaying. One of them was written by someone who invented 'cassandra syndrome' to describe non autistic partners who had developed autistic like behaviours to cope with their partners.
