Autism – what does it mean for my child and family?

The course will consist of 10 weekly sessions for up to 10 attendees with two facilitators. The next course will begin when we have enough interest, please get in touch if you are interested.

The materials for this group will be written, presented and facilitated to ensure that autistic parents feel supported and included. This will also be of great benefit to non-autistic parents in attendance. Sometimes courses are inaccessible to neurodivergent attendees or can cause distress through using negative language and stereotypes; we wish to provide a truly inclusive course.

This is an opportunity for parents of autistic children to meet other parents and learn about what autism means from the perspective of autistic people with direct lived experience, including some who are parents of autistic children themselves. The course will cover ideas for connecting to the autistic community, Neurodiversity, the history of Autistic People’s Organisations and practical daily living experiences.
