A mum from Eastleigh, Hampshire who felt healthcare professionals had written off her son after he showed signs of autism, has penned a research-backed book to help other struggling parents.

Unlock Autism 7-Step Autism Action Plan to Unlock Your Child’s Potential Within 12 Months, not only documents Taiba Bajar’s journey but also her findings from her two-year intensive exploration of the neurological and developmental disorder.

Faced with a potential four-year wait for a diagnosis and minimal help thereafter, Taiba leveraged her degree in Dental Science focusing on the elements of neuroscience and neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain). Through understanding the critical importance of early intervention, she focused on the connection between gut health and brain function, cerebellum development, methylation, and building emotional intelligence.

Her dedication yielded remarkable results. Her son, who at the age of two, started to struggle with speech, loud noises, and severe sleep issues, made substantial progress. Today he thrives in a mainstream school, enjoys friendships, and meets developmental milestones without special educational support.

Author, Taiba Bajar says, “After asking for help and only being given 30-minutes support every eight weeks, I knew it wouldn’t be enough to support my son on his journey. Understanding that up until the age of five, a child’s brain can be re-wired through a process called neuroplasticity, my research began. I’m delighted with his progress and even his teacher doesn’t believe he has any Special Educational Needs. It was such a breakthrough for us, and it’s why I have founded Autism Brain Empowerment to help other parents. My book Unlock Autism is the next chapter in bringing this research and findings to more mums and dads who need it most, so they too can unlock their child’s potential within 12 months.”

Taiba is passionate that parents do not feel like they are alone on their child’s autism journey, especially if they are aged between one and eleven. Knowing how challenging the disorder can be for every family member, and how limited additional support often is, she wants to empower parents to fill in the gaps, with a professional by their side.

Unlock Autism guides readers through a clear, research-backed 7-Step Autism Action Plan, offering practical tips, step-by-step guidance, and worksheets to unlock a child’s potential so they can achieve their milestones within 12 months. 

Through the book readers will discover:

• A straightforward 7-Step Autism Action Plan supported by the latest research.
• Comprehensive advice for tackling behavioural issues, boosting communication, and enhancing wellbeing.
• Tools for creating a supportive, nurturing environment tailored to a child’s unique needs.

Taiba hopes that if parents start the journey with Unlock Autism, they will start to see the remarkable progress a child can achieve through simple changes made at home.

Unlock Autism 7-Step Autism Action Plan to Unlock Your Child’s Potential Within 12 Months became a number one Amazon bestseller on its release in June 2024.
