Resources for Adults
We are often asked for advice or suggestions as ADHD/autistic people and their families seek to put in place positive strategies to support them to thrive. These are some of the resources we use with our clients, and we are happy to share them with you, so that you can use them at home too. Please let us know by emailing media@adhdandautism.org if you have any comments on what we have shared, or other ideas for topics that we might be able to provide resources for.
