The National Autistic Society has produced the ‘Know Yourself’ series of videos, pdfs and worksheets, to support autistic teenagers in understanding what being autistic means to them.
The resources have been co-produced with autistic young people and feature many talking about their own experiences and what has helped them. The aim is to offer information and ideas to empower teenagers to begin to explore their own experiences and understand themselves more. The series will eventually cover six topics, but the first four topics, ‘understanding yourself’, ‘energy accounting’, ‘exploring your identity’ and ‘setting yourself up for success’ are available now.
There is also a guide highlighting additional resources that can be accessed by anyone supporting autistic young people.
