Teenagers with a Parent on the Autism Spectrum

Tuesday July 3, 2012 – 5:30 – 7:00 pm

Presented by:

Professor Tony Attwood

Prof Tony Attwood is a World expert and leading authority on Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) and autism. Tony is an adjunct
professor at Griffith University, Queensland. His book Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals has become one of the primary texts on Asperger's Syndrome and has been translated into twenty languages.

The information night is for:

Teenagers with a parent or both parents on the autism spectrum.

The aim of the information evening is to assist teenage children of a parent with an Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) diagnosis or the personality characteristics of Asperger’s Syndrome to cope with the demands of being a neurotypical teenager living in a household with a parent, or both parents, on the spectrum.  Whilst having a parent with AS brings its own unique rewards, there can also be challenges.  The evening will provide a chance for the presenters and attendees to discuss specific questions, integrating knowledge and experience into practical strategies and advice. 

Numbers are capped at 30 participants.
