Great session last week! Our sibling carers of autistic children took part in a group support workshop to build their understanding of autism, with brilliant peer learning throughout. Then it was straight to the dry slopes to let off some energy! 🛷 #CarersTrust #solihullcarers

A handwritten poster titled "Autism" with facts written by a young carer, explaining that autism is called a spectrum because autistic people can be very different from each other, with some needing more support than others. It includes notes on self-regulating behaviours and a hand-drawn illustration of a stick figure, with a "Fun Facts" section reminding readers that autistic children are sometimes different from each other.
