A guide to the mental health experiences and needs of autistic teenagers | When developing this module, we recognised the need for a preventative resource, which not only collaborated with, but was led by autistic people. Everyone involved in the module development emphasised that autistic teenagers need supporters in their life to understand their autistic experience, and to recognise their autistic identity and their needs. The aim of that being to lead to better mental health outcomes. We know that many autistic teenagers develop mental health problems and too many reach crisis point. Our research suggests that this situation is driven by a lack of services that are adjusted and adapted to support autistic people’s needs. The aim of the module is to increase understanding of autistic experience, autistic mental health experiences and to explore supportive strategies to support young autistic people’s mental health. | Specialist Autism Modules |
