The Autistic Collective Wednesday 28th February 1.00 – 3.00pm

The Autistic Collective is delighted to announce our next event, open to parents and family carers in East Renfrewshire, and we would be most grateful if you would kindly pass the information onto families of pupils at Eastwood High School.

Autistic children’s wellbeing practitioner and autism specialist, Jodie Smitten joins us on Wednesday 28th February 1.00 – 3.00pm to explore “Challenges faced in school affecting the mental health of Autistic children”

This Zoom session will take a deep dive on challenges brought about by the school environment, with the aim of empowering parents to advocate for their child. Covering topics such as:

·         Sensory processing differences

·         Double Empathy Theory

·         Alexithymia

·         Autistic Masking

·         Autistic Burnout

·         Time for questions at the end

The event is part of our funded series of empowerment workshops for parents and carers, with longtime collaborator and friend Lynsey Stewart, L-Mac Consultancy.
