Next Parent Workshop: When Anxiety & Autism Meet Adolescence

Understanding anxiety at the intersection of autism and adolescence, so you can respond with confidence and stop second-guessing yourself.

Thursday 9th July, 6.30pm live on Zoom

You used to trust your parenting instincts.

Now every decision feels loaded.

Push too hard?

Step back?

Offer reassurance?

Encourage independence?

You worry that whatever you choose might make things worse.

Join this live workshop to help you step back, understand what’s happening developmentally, and feel clearer about what genuinely helps — and what you can let go of — so you can respond more confidently and stop second-guessing yourself.

Adolescence is a period of profound change.

Teens are working out who they are, where they belong, and how independent they want to be, while facing increased academic pressure, complex friendships, and growing expectations to “cope”.

**When autism and anxiety are part of the picture, this stage can feel especially intense — for teens and for parents.**

Many parents find themselves thinking:

“Everything feels more fragile than it used to.”
“I don’t know when to push and when to step back.”
"I'm walking on eggshells"
“I’m worried about making things worse.”

If this sounds familiar, this clinically grounded, developmentally informed workshop is for you!

What makes this workshop different

Most advice looks at anxiety, autism, or adolescence in isolation.

But your teenager is experiencing all three at the same time.

That's why generic advice often leaves parents feeling more confused.

This workshop helps you understand how these pieces fit together.

We’ll explore how:

adolescent development shapes behaviour and emotional responses
autism affects identity, independence, and social demands during the teen years
anxiety often develops as a protective response to overload and uncertainty
behaviours that look like avoidance or withdrawal often make developmental sense

Understanding this interplay helps parents respond with more confidence and less fear.

What you’ll gain from attending

This workshop will help you:

understand why anxiety often intensifies during adolescence for autistic teens
make sense of behaviour through a developmental and nervous-system lens
feel clearer about when to support, when to step back, and what to prioritise
reduce unhelpful escalation by doing less, more intentionally
feel steadier and more confident as a parent at this stage

This is about understanding, not fixing.

This workshop isn’t about introducing lots of new strategies. Instead, it focuses on helping you understand the why — the real psychology behind what you’re seeing — so you can respond from a place of understanding and confidence, rather than trying to follow generic strategies that don’t fit your child.

🙋‍♀️ This is for parents of teenagers who:

are anxious and autistic
are anxious and you suspect autism may be part of the picture
have recently received a diagnosis and are trying to make sense of what it means during adolescence
feel unsure how to support independence without losing connection

You do not need a confirmed diagnosis to attend.

What other parents have said:

"The webinar was spot on - you’re approachable, there’s no judgement, and it was easy to understand."

"The information was really helpful, learning about the additional cognitive and emotional load on teens. But also really helpful was the reassurance that as a parent I'm going to get it wrong, and that's okay, my relationship with my teen will survive"

"It's incredibly informative and delivered in a truly compassionate and reassuring way. It gives you back your hope. It's so wonderful to be in a space where someone completely understands what you are going through and they can help."

"This workshop is a must for any parent that is struggling - it will help you understand the reasoning behind the anxiety and hopefully give you a sense of relief as it has done to me."
