🧠💚 World Mental Health Day 💚🧠

At Sphere, we honour the real and valid mental health experiences of our autistic and ADHD community. Challenges like anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm aren’t personal failures but instead they are understandable responses to a world that often doesn’t meet neurodivergent needs.

We believe mental health support should affirm who you are…not try to change you 🥰

If you are a parent or carer of a child with autism, or suspected autism, then you will know how challenging it can be to navigate that journey - of advocating for them, of getting the right support - for your child and yourself.

We have a dedicated group for parents and carers to help you connect with others going through similar challenges, a chance to talk, offload, and importantly, be listened to.

This small and friendly group is a safe hosted by the wonderful Carys who also has lived experience of this journey.

The groups are held monthly at The MindSpace hub.

Next session: Monday 20th October, 1.15 - 2.45 pm

In honour of National Play Day 2025, we're celebrating the power of play and sharing our top tips for supporting autistic children to explore and enjoy play in neuroaffirming ways:

✨ Follow the child’s lead ✨

Let the child guide the interaction based on what brings them joy.

✨ Respect stimming and sensory needs ✨

Stimming is a valid and important part of self-expression and regulation.

✨ Presume competence ✨

Non-speaking is not the same as non-understanding.

✨ Don’t force eye contact or turn-taking ✨

These are not required for meaningful connected play.

✨ Celebrate special interests ✨

Use them as a bridge for connection, creativity, and shared joy.

💛 Every child plays in their own way.
Let’s make play inclusive, respectful, and empowering 💛
