Children & Young People

Growing up can feel harder for an autistic child, and harder for the parents who love them. Familiar routines shift, bodies change, school grows more demanding, and feelings can be difficult to put into words. None of this means anything has gone wrong. It simply means your child needs understanding and support that fits who they are.

Here you will find guidance written for everyday family life, from the changes of puberty to behaviours that may puzzle or worry you, and the ups and downs of school. Take what is useful, and remember that you do not have to face any of it on your own.
