The perspective of parents\, teachers and the person with high functioning autism are explored and strategies outlined to make constructive use of the interest or to reduce the dominance of a specific interest in the person’s daily life. \nTea/Coffee available on arrival \nCost: £30 per SNAP Registered Parent \n£60 per professional \n1.30pm – 4.30pm \nAdolescent issues for teenagers with high functioning autism \nThe presentation focuses on issues faced by teenagers with high functioning autism\, which range from the physical aspects of puberty to changes in friendship\, the development of sexuality\, the change in academic expectations\, emotion management\, issues regarding self-esteem\, and preparation for college and employment. \nThis seminar would be appropriate for those caring for or supporting a child with HFA aged 10 and up. \nTea/Coffee available on arrival  \nCost: £30 per SNAP Registered Parent \n£60 per professional \nIf you would like to book for both sessions then you are most welcome to do so. Please book each one individually. Please remember to bring your own lunch if you are attending both sessions as lunch is not provided as part of the ticket price. \nProfessor Tony Attwood has specialised in autism spectrum disorders since he qualified as a clinical psychologist in England in 1975.
