Parents & Carers Virtual Advice Session from Neurodivergence Wales

Autism & Teenagers
Melissa Hutchings, ASD Family Help
Thursday, 18th of September 2025, 10:00am – 12:00pm
An autistic teenager may have a lot of questions as they enter adolescence about how autism may impact them. They may even be struggling to acknowledge their needs or diagnosis. As a parent/carer you may also have questions – This session will look at being an Autistic Teenager and how important it is to allow them to be themselves, with you by their side, supporting them all the way with life skills and relationships. The session will look at friendships, relationships, touching on gender identity, the world of dating and staying safe.
ASD Family Help provides information and support through a wide range of events and activities for families and individuals who are affected by Autism and/or Learning Difficulties/Disabilities (pre and post assessment).
Melissa has an autistic son, who was the reason why she became involved in the world of autism. She worked for a Local Authority for 17 years as an autism specialist, supporting and empowering many families.
