A lovely opportunity for anyone who may benefit ✨ I know many parents of autistic teenagers begin learning about autism for their child… and then quietly start recognising autistic traits in themselves too

What’s Next? is a 6-week online programme for recently diagnosed or self-identifying autistic adults (18+) living in Scotland.

It’s designed to help autistic adults better understand themselves, improve wellbeing, and connect with others in a neuroaffirming and supportive space.

You do not need a formal diagnosis to access support or community.

Please note: this video contains strong language throughout. While this may not be suitable for everyone, the message behind it is important and reflects the very real frustration many neurodivergent individuals and families experience.

Children should not have to hide who they are just to make other people feel more comfortable. The more we teach our children to accept, understand, and not judge neurodivergent differences, the more we create communities where children can belong as they are.

If this resonates with you, I’d encourage you to watch the video all the way through and share your thoughts. These conversations matter 🫶🏽✨

The North East Quine thank you for speaking so honestly and powerfully about this. This conversation is just so important.

"Presume competence". Yes. Always.

Even if communication looks different from what we expect.

Because the danger of underestimating a child is far greater than the risk of assuming the is more understanding than there actually is

A simple resource to help you better understand and support your teen 🙏🏽🫶🏽

It's an ADHD self-help pack. It’s written for adults, but it’s really useful for parents and teens too.

You can use the ideas to support your child at home, or share it with a teen who might find it helpful, even *without* a diagnosis.

A lot of the strategies work well across the board, including for our autistic young people.

Easy to dip in and take what fits 👇🏽

Is this the space you didn't realise you needed? ✨

A new ASN Child & Parent Group has opened in Fraserburgh and this is exactly the kind of space many families say they’ve been needing.

But groups like this only continue if they’re used. So if you’ve been looking for something like this, now’s the time to get involved!
