The Autistic Collective- online event for East Renfrewshire Parents/Carers

The Autistic Collective’s next online event taking place in October.

Off the back of our very successful event with Evaleen Whelton on the “Best strategies for supporting Autistic kids and teens”, we are delighted to announce that Evaleen is returning for an “Ask Evaleen anything” session on October 4th at 10.00am. This is open to parents and carers of Autistic people living in East Renfrewshire.

Evaleen would be delighted to come back to host a parents/carers ONLY session via ZOOM on Wednesday 4th October at 10.00am – 12.00noon. This will be a part-learning event, part-peer support, informal get-together. You’ll find zero judgement in our spaces, only kindness, empathy and some great solution-focused tips and guidance. You are not alone….many of us walk the same path.

We’d love you to join us. We pride ourselves on being a friendly, inclusive bunch and all East Renfrewshire parents and carers are welcome.   You don’t have to have been at, or registered for Evaleen’s session last week on “Best strategies for supporting Autistic kids and teens” to come along.

Evaleen will kick off the session on 4th October with a few slides to recap, set the scene and get things warmed up. She’ll then open the floor for you lovely people to ask her questions and explore dilemmas and challenges that you’re experiencing as a family.  This is your session, so ask her anything related to better understanding and supporting Autistics within your family.

Evaleen is great company with wonderful energy and delivery, and razor sharp wit.  Her past sessions have proven very successful and helpful for parents and carers to hear from an Autistic adult, and internationally renowned Autistic “autism” professional, author and speaker.
