All In A mother's journey through autism By: Karina McHardy

A DEEPLY PERSONAL AND UNIVERSALLY RESONANT STORY OF HOW ONE CHILD’S EARLY YEARS TRANSFORMED EVERYTHING HIS MOTHER THOUGHT SHE KNEW — ABOUT SYSTEMS, CARE AND HERSELF.

When Karina McHardy’s son was diagnosed with severe autism as a toddler, she devoted herself to nurturing his potential. But as it became clear the support he needed didn’t exist, she stepped away from the life she knew and began building what he needed to thrive.

All In is a raw, compelling account of life with a young neurodivergent child. It explores the cost of seeking meaningful help in under-resourced systems — and the growth that can come from walking a path you never planned for.

Written for parents, professionals and allies alike, All In is more than a memoir. It’s a clear-eyed call for change.
