Coming to the Black Country in Autumn 2023, our Teen Autism Confident programmes.

They offer an opportunity to learn more about autism in a small, supportive, group setting and to share experiences and identify strategies that could help in day-to-day life.

Feel free to email Amy on [email protected] with any questions.

The 6 weekly topics covered include:

• Understanding Autism
• Social Communication
• Sensory Awareness
• Anxiety
• Self-esteem and Self-image (teens)
• Disclosure(adults) / Transitions, Change and the Future (teens)

The first programme will be completely online and the second programme will have the option of meeting for a 1-2-1, in-person session with an autism specialist at the first and final session.

Who can attend:

• Autistic teenagers (over 13 years)
• It does not matter when your diagnosis was received
• Your GP (doctor) comes under the Black Country & West Birmingham CCG.
• You are able to commit to attending weekly sessions.
