Overview

2 Day Workshop - Tuesday 2nd & 9th of June

Join us for an insightful and transformative workshop, created and delivered by autistic adults with autistic children. This unique two half-day session offers a fresh perspective on autism.

In the first session, you will learn what autism is, how it is identified, and explore the traits of autism. We will discuss how it feels to be autistic and how the autistic brain may process information.

The second session focuses on the strengths of autistic thinking and promoting good mental wellbeing. We will explore the development of effective support strategies, focusing on methods to support your autistic child’s wellbeing.

By the end of the workshop, you will leave with increased confidence and practical tools to support your autistic child, along with a deeper understanding of neurodiversity and autism.

Please note the second session will take place on the 9th June at 10.00am - 2.00pm.

Please only reserve a ticket if you plan to attend. We understand that unexpected circumstances or illness can come up, but we’ve recently experienced an increase in no-shows, which prevents others from taking part in the training. If you’re unable to attend, please cancel your ticket as soon as possible so we can offer the space to someone else. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
