About the group:

A 3 week online group for parents/carers whose children have received a diagnosis of Autism. 
Facilitated by Dr Zara Rahemtulla. You can read more about Zara here and more about Sally here.

It can be difficult to know what to do next, or who to speak to, after your child has received a diagnosis of Autism. Our post diagnosis group will offer you a space to have your questions answered by a clinical psychologist, and they will help you to understand what a diagnosis of Autism really means for you and your child. 

A specialist will explain why your child’s behaviour feels difficult to predict, and how you can best support your child in these moments. You will start to learn about emotional dysregulation and the important roles the brain and the body play in improving your child’s well-being and functioning. 

Receiving a diagnosis of Autism can bring up mixed feelings for parents/carers and it can feel difficult to know how to talk about these. This group will also be a place for parents to meet and connect through similar experiences, and offer each other support throughout the process.

My child has received a diagnosis of Autism - what does this mean for me and my child?
