Autism education workshops and anxiety workshops for parents of autistic children.

Sals 11 days ago

Hello Everyone

I'm hoping you'll be able to recommend some workshops so that we can start to really understand how to support or son.

He's 12 and since transitioning to secondary school has completely changed.

He has been recently diagnosed with ASD and is missing school most days.

I'm reading lots but would love workshop / course recommendations for his dad and me to attend.

We have one very scared little boy.

All suggestions and thoughts gratefully received.

Thank you.

Kelly Mahler courses on interoception are really good because we can struggle with identifying our emotions, we also can struggle to identify our needs like thirst, hunger ect all of which can lead to more meltdowns

If you've not read about restraint collapse, look this up as well

Creating a sensory diet with your son that can be used at school but as soon as he gets home can help him decompress from the day

I would recommend PDA as well, there is free and paid resources on their website, but helping you learn neuro affirming language to get your son to feel he has autonomy would be really helpful for you
