Can I join if I live outside the Midlands?

Accepted Answer

We hold online workshops regularly and schedule repeat workshops for later dates, as we appreciate you may not be available for this workshop.

Question 4

My child or adult does not have a diagnosis yet, can I join the workshop?

Accepted Answer

Autism Central supports parents, carers and PA's of autistic people, no matter where they are on their journey. The workshops may support individuals who are new to autism and those who have a diagnosis and seeking more support and signposting.

Question 5

Who facilitates the workshops?

Accepted Answer

Autism Central has been devised as a Peer Education Programme, which means co-production is at the centre of the project. Our Peer Educators facilitate the workshops who are people with lived experience of autism.  They may be autistic and/or a parent, carer or sibling.
