Understanding Autism and mental health

Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can make managing certain areas of our lives more difficult, such as becoming distressed when there are changes to routine or finding certain situations anxiety provoking. These workshops aim to help autistic adults understand their ASD and how it affects their mental health, whilst discussing ways to cope with common mental health challenges in everyday life.
