Understanding Teenagehood in Autism: Why This Webinar Matters
Teenagehood is a time of immense change — physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively. For children with autism, this period can be especially complex. Shifts in behavior, emerging questions around sexuality, struggles with identity, and increased academic and social pressures can challenge both teens and their caregivers.
Children on the spectrum may experience puberty differently and might require unique support systems to navigate this critical life stage. As caregivers, understanding these changes is essential in helping teens thrive while maintaining their dignity, autonomy, and well-being.
This webinar will provide a safe and informative space where caregivers can learn from those who’ve walked the journey — as parents and professionals. It’s a moment to reflect, relate, and be re-energized with practical tools for guiding autistic teens through this phase.
