This free interactive online workshop from the Berkshire Adult Autism Support Service, tailored for parents and family carers, looks at:

• Sensory processing differences that are thought to affect at least 80% of autistic people and strengths and challenges that they may experience as a result.

It outlines ways to achieve better executive functioning, including using mind maps, decision trees and critical thinking, along with problem-solving.

It includes tips and strategies that autistic people can use in daily life and social situations.

It is open to parents and family carers of autistic adults who are registered as patients with a GP surgery in Berkshire.
