Autistic Parenting Group
A group for parents who want to understand, connect with, and support their Autistic child of any age (including adult) while caring for themselves
As a neurodivergent psychologist and parent, I am personally thrilled to offer a new group for parents of Autistic people of any age. It combines my favorite affirming and effective parenting approaches to help both Autistic people and their parents flourish!
Does this sound familiar?
-
Are you the parent of an Autistic person of any age?
-
Have you been struggling to understand their needs?
-
Are you wondering how to both accommodate their needs AND help them learn and grow?
-
Do you feel drained by parenting demands and wonder how to meet both your Autistic child’s needs and your own?
-
Would you like to connect with a therapist and other parents who GET IT?
This group is for you - created to support parents in parenting their Autistic children.
It combines scientifically supported and validating approaches for parenting Autistic people.
You'll learn and practice skills including:
-
Understanding your child’s Autistic needs
-
Balancing acceptance and change
