Autistic Families: Workshop

When you are an Autistic parent raising Autistic children, it can sometimes feel like everyone else’s needs come first. Many parents spend so much energy supporting their children that their own needs and limits can be hard to notice.  

This workshop focuses on your experience as an Autistic parent and how to care for yourself while supporting your child and family. 

You’ll learn 

• Simple and practical strategies to understand your needs as an Autistic parent. 

• How to notice when you are feeling sensory, emotional or mental overload, and what you can do to help in those moments.  

• Ideas for creating routines and home environments that support your wellbeing.  

• Ways to support a strong and positive Autistic identity for both you and your child. 

This is an online workshop 

• Workshops are interactive and may include chat, polls and reflections.   

• You are welcome to participate in ways that feel comfortable for you, including simply listening.  

• You do not need your camera on. 

• For privacy, this session is not recorded.

• This workshop is for Autistic parents who are raising Autistic children. This includes parents who are diagnosed, self-identified, or still exploring.
