About the course

This workshop is delivered by Aspie Trainers, a project which supports autistic adults to design and deliver engaging, high quality autism training which mixes thorough and up-to-date research and theory with the practical lived experiences of the trainers themselves

This session explores life in a family where more than one member, and more than one generation, has an autism diagnosis. The issues which this can cause, the benefits which it may have on autistic young people and the support which families in this circumstance may require.

In this session participants will:

  • Hear first-hand experience of life in a family with more than one autistic member
  • Explore some of the benefits which this can have for autistic young people
  • Explore some of the particular difficulties that this may result in
  • Examine ways to support young autistic people and their families
