We bring you a 90-minute, in-depth, live online webinar featuring a panel of diagnosed individuals sharing their questions and personal insights into the topics that matter most to those who are diagnosed and to those who want to help.

Information and links from Wenn Lawson:

Sometimes for some autistic individuals rules and structure are perceived as 'demands' so, if we have an autistic individual that is feeling demanded of by rules etc. negotiation usually works well in the place of structure.

Talking on aging as an autistic adult: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3uabzwdDUE
The book This Chair Rocks is a great read, it's not about autism but so much of what the author writes is relevant: Older's and stigma around ageing is to challenge concepts of being older.
