This informative and engaging guidebook provides key adults โ€“ parents, school staff and therapists โ€“ with the tools needed to support children and young people as they develop a positive understanding of their autistic identity.

The guidebook is designed to accompany the Autism, Identity and Me workbook, building the adultโ€™s understanding of autism and autistic identity, expanding upon the themes introduced, and offering a clear and structured program of sessions to guide the young person through the workbook. Content has been shaped by autistic advisors and contributors, with first-hand experiences woven throughout, alongside examples of โ€˜possible promptsโ€™, what to focus on as a lead adult, and a variety of concrete, neurodiversity-affirming strategies.

Having a positive understanding of your autistic identity is an indicator of higher self-esteem and wellbeing as an adult. This guidebook supports the development of this and will be valuable for all adults working with autistic children and young people aged 10+.

For effective use, this guide should be purchased alongside the workbook.
