Join other Worcestershire parent carers to hear from children’s well-being practitioner and autism specialist Jodie Clarke. Author of ‘Young, Autistic and Burnt Out’ and ‘Stop The World, I Want To Get Off’, Jodie is a regular speaker at the National Autistic Society annual conference and was trained under leading UK autism academic, Dr Luke Beardon.
Many autistic children mask their true selves in school, working hard to blend in, avoid judgment or to meet expectations. This FREE webinar, designed exclusively for parent carers, will explore what masking looks like in educational settings, how it impacts mental health, and ways to support your child at home and in school. Led by an experienced autism specialist, the session will provide practical strategies to help your child feel safe, understood, and empowered to be themselves.
Autistic masking is known to be linked to a loss of self-identity, poor mental health, autistic burnout and suicidal ideation. In order for autistic children and young people to thrive, we need to ensure we have full understanding of masking and its implications, allowing autistic students to thrive authentically.
