'Teen Life is our six-session programme for parents/carers of autistic young people aged 10 to 16 years. The aim of the Teen Life programme is to bring parents together to share information, experiences and ideas in a structured way. Teen Life emphasises the importance of autistic perspectives, with a variety of videos and quotes used throughout the sessions.

Parents can choose to attend the programme with a supporting professional. Our programme empowers parents to understand more about autism.

Topics covered include:

understanding autism in teenagers
self-esteem and spending time with other people
stress and anxiety
understanding your diagnosis

education and planning for the future.

A Teen Life programme book will be provided to each family attending the sessions.' autism.org.uk
