👩‍👧‍👦 Support for Parents and Carers of Autistic Teens – Teen Life Programme

Are you a parent or carer of an autistic young person aged 10–16?

The National Autistic Society Scotland is offering a fantastic opportunity this June — the Teen Life Programme, a free, six-session course designed to help you better understand and support your autistic child.

🧠 What is Teen Life?

Teen Life is a supportive and informative programme created specifically for parents and carers of autistic young people. Whether your child has a formal diagnosis or not, this course is open to you.

🌟 What You’ll Learn:

• Understanding autism and developing a positive autistic identity

• Managing stress, anxiety, and behaviour

• Supporting health and wellbeing

• Navigating puberty and adolescence

• Planning for education and the future

  
  

💬 This is a safe, welcoming space to ask questions, share experiences, and gain practical tools that can make a real difference in your family’s day-to-day life.

📍 Who Can Attend?

This workshop is intended for parents and carers only — not for teenagers themselves. A formal diagnosis is not required to participate.

📧 How to Book:

Spaces are limited and fill up quickly. To reserve your place or find out more, email:autismsupportayrshire@nas.org.uk

📝 Please Note: This is not a NEST-run programme — we’re simply sharing this opportunity to support families in our community,
