**This session is open to anyone who lives or works in East Renfrewshire. Usually, our Autistic Collective events are safe spaces for parents and carers only….and we will absolutely continue to do that, but this webinar will be an opportunity for professionals who support Autistic people and their families to join us, as we all learn together side-by-side**
Over the past couple of years, we feel extremely honoured and blessed to have been able to welcome exceptional Autistic/Neurodivergent guest speakers and trainers to our Autistic Collective spaces. Following on in that tradition….
