Your Pathway is a fun and positive six-session programme which enables children and young people to explore their autistic identity, develop a better understanding of themselves, their needs, and how to thrive.

Your Pathway is available via six pre-recorded sessions which children can access with a parent/carer or trusted adult at a time which suits them or can be purchased by schools/groups who wish to deliver it themselves.

Each session includes activities and opportunities for discussion. Children will receive an activity pack with all resources needed. Your Pathway covers:

- Understanding autism as a valuable part of human neurodiversity
- Differences in sensory processing
- Differences in communication and social interaction (including the double empathy problem)
- Differences in thinking, doing and learning
- The challenges an autistic child/teenager can encounter during a typical day and accommodations which can help
- Understanding meltdowns and shutdowns
- Self-regulation
- Masking and the importance of being yourself
- Stimming
- Spoon theory
- The theory of monotropism.

Your Pathway is suitable for parents/carers to use with their child at home, and is suitable for schools/groups to use in a 1:1 or group setting.
