Join Lindsay Keating, host of the Positive Action Autism ADHD Podcast as she chats with Michelle Garnett and answers questions from group members on the topic of dating and relationships. Michelle offers insights and answers to the following questions:
- I'm worried about my child’s safely in the dating world. Any advice for both her and myself?
- Can you share some examples of what healthy relationships look like for young adults on the Autism Spectrum?
- What are the first steps to take, when your child expresses an interest in dating or asks what dating / love is?
- Are there resources you recommend (e.g. visuals, books) for a teenager or young adult who has an interest in moving beyond friendship?
- As a caregiver, how do you explain the risks? Or teach important skills such as boundaries, consent and safety?
