Neurodiversity – A Parent’s Guide
About
Autistic teenagers face greater challenges during adolescence compared to their neurotypical peers. In this session with Dr Tamasine Black, we will explore these unique challenges and provide strategies to improve coping mechanisms, resilience, and connection with peers. We will discuss how to facilitate social cohesion, peer acceptance, and nurture a positive sense of self. Additionally, we will consider practical ways to help autistic adolescents manage increased stress and exhaustion, empowering them to navigate this critical stage of their lives more effectively.
