‘Autism; depression in children and teenagers – Prof. Tony Attwood Special’ is a 2 hour webinar, including a Q & A session.

The presentation explains why children with autism are more likely to be a target and strategies to reduce incidents of bullying and teasing.
It should interest all mental health professionals, and particularly parents and those that support children and young people with autism. There will be effective interventions, tips, and advice, that can be used immediately.
