The Berkshire Adult Autism Support Service is running two free evening autism advice workshops for the parents and family carers of autistic adults in May.
The aim of these sessions is to share key advice and help participants increase their understanding of aspects of autism and their confidence when supporting their relatives – the partners and siblings of autistic adults are encouraged to attend.
Please note that for you to be eligible to attend, the person you care for must be registered as a patient with an NHS GP surgery in Berkshire.
We recommend that parents and carers attend both sessions to get the most benefit from them, as the topics they cover complement each other.
They will take place on Tuesday evenings, between 6pm and 8pm, as follows
- Sensory Differences and Executive Functioning: May 6
- Anxiety & Autism and Understanding Other People: May 20

Free places at both workshops can be requested by contacting the Berkshire Adult Autism Support Service by email at adult.support@autismberkshire.org.uk or calling 01189 594 594 (option 2) and leaving a voicemail message.
An extra parent or carer from a family is welcome to join the session without needing a separate booking.
- Please note that these workshops are not open to paid professional carers or personal assistants.
