LGBTQIA+ Support Poster

A practical poster offering tips for supporting autistic LGBTQIA+ young people through identity exploration and self-discovery.

This poster provides clear, compassionate guidance for parents, carers, educators and professionals supporting autistic young people who are exploring their LGBTQIA+ identity. It covers six key areas: modelling acceptance, using Ask-Listen-Do, giving time and space, doing your own research, accepting that understanding can come later, and acknowledging that it's okay to feel overwhelmed.

Who is this for?

Parents, carers, educators, healthcare professionals, and anyone supporting autistic LGBTQIA+ young people.
