Autism Support in London

Has your child or teen been diagnosed as autistic? And you are looking for further support to help them lead their best life? As well as navigating what this means for you and your family?

Receiving a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can bring both relief at finally understanding your child's struggles, as well as overwhelm at what now lies ahead.

Help for autistic children

The ASD spectrum is wide. Each child will manifest autism in their own unique way. It's now also understood that autism in girls can present differently than in boys.

In general, autistic traits mean your child will socialise and communicate differently than other children, have a limited range of interests, engage in repetitive behaviours, and either under or overreact to sensory information like sounds, light, colour, and touch.

Post diagnostic support for children, teens (and adults!)

Post diagnostic support troubleshoots all these areas of autistic child behaviour, while also developing your child's strengths, unique gifts, and confidence. There is no 'cure' for autism. But the right support can help your autistic child lead a life where they are happy, with the skills to do things to the best of their ability, and have a high quality of life.

education

help with family communication and conflict
identity support (maintaing your life outside of 'mom/dad')
