We often hear from Parent Carers who would like to learn more about Autism whilst they await an assessment/diagnosis. Or maybe your child has emerging needs and you'd just like to find out a bit more about Autism.

For this project, the BNSSG Parent Carer Forums have joined together to provide and host a range of online and face-to-face workshops. To attend this workshop, you MUST live in Bristol, North Somerset or South Gloucestershire.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism often go together and can easily be confused for one another. It can be hard being a parent to know which is causing the most difficulty and what you need to use strategies for. So what is the difference between them?

In this short course, we'll cover many similarities between the two. We'll also look at many simple strategies you can start straight away that should help.

I'll share with you a brief overview about:

The myths and facts of both

How the brain processes information differently

Strategies to help someone learn and navigate the world

Associated conditions

The senses role in behaviour

Let's face it, they can both seem complicated; it can be confusing to pry them apart. So if you're struggling to figure it out and need a simple overview, then this is the perfect introduction course for you.
