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.
This is our online module for public transport professionals.

Autism in the workplace
Please note we have created this resource with autistic input throughout from project management, video interviews, edits, focus groups, research, and content writing to try and cover as much as we possibly could on money management.
This resource aims to benefit as many people as possible but is not directed at you specifically and therefore any tips and advice should be taken with caution and perhaps accompanied by seeking additional personalised advice.
