Hi,
I'm looking for some advice please... I'm based in the North West and have a 10 year old son who is autistic. Whilst he's soaring academically, he struggles a lot emotionally. He's a rule follower and needs to be doing everything right, all of the time. He doesn't like to be center of attention and will try his best to blend in, in every situation.
We're really trying to develop his confidence, particularly before he has to go to high school and wondered if anyone had come across any useful confidence building courses or groups either online or in the north west?
Thanks!
Hi and welcome to the community!
You might be able to find a local group and/or courses by searching the NAS's directory:
Autism Services Directory
With high school coming up, it might also be helpful to read advice about preparing for and managing education transitions:
NAS - Transitions England
NAS - Transition tips
Thank you so much for your help. I'll take a look at those.
