Our daughter (13) was recently diagnosed and we have been struggling with managing her behaviour all her life really but in particular since she’s been a teen. The school have recommended looking at parenting courses to help us manage, can anyone recommend a good one. We’re looking in particular for one specific to girls/teenagers if such a thing exists

    Hello NAS87751,

    I'm not sure if NAS offers any parenting courses and I'll ask them about it. In the meantime, you could watch or read the transcript of this interview with Sarah Wild about 'Educating Autistic Girls'. Here is the link: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/professional-practice/educating-autistic-girls

    All the best,
