After years of collaboration, reflection and lived experience, we are so pleased to share something close to our hearts.
Myself, Helen Edgar (Autistic Realms) and David Gray-Hammond (Neurohub Community Ltd) have created a new on-demand video course and companion workbook:
Re-Storying Autism: A Framework for Families, Parents and Carers
Reimagining Support For Autistic People
Launches (16th February 2026).
This is not a behaviour toolkit or a list of accommodations.
It is not a set of correction strategies.
It is not about making Autistic people appear more typical.
It is an invitation to shift perspective.
Instead of centring control, we centre understanding. Instead of focusing on surface presentation, we explore experience. Instead of “fixing,” we nurture safety, connection and respect.
Why We Created This
As Autistic, ADHD and multiply neurodivergent adults — and as parents, carers and professionals — we know how often Autistic people are left with compliance-driven guidance and deficit-focused narratives after diagnosis or self-identification.
We wanted to offer something more humane and more accurate.
This course draws on a six-part framework developed through Neurohub Community Ltd. It weaves together:
- Autistic-led insight
- Community and acadmic knowledge
- Relational thinking
- Practical application
The focus moves from:
- “How do we stop this behaviour?”
To:
- “What is this person communicating, how are they feeling?”
- “How does their nervous system respond to the world?”
- “What helps them feel more secure and better understood?”
What’s Inside the Workbook
The workbook (350+ pages) is designed for thoughtful collaborative engagement. You can move through it gradually, dip in and out, and return to sections as needed.
It explores:
Autistic ways of processing — including monotropism and differences in social understanding.
Sensory and emotional experience — the full sensory system (including proprioception, vestibular & interception), overload, regulation and attunement.
Burnout — understood as cumulative strain and disconnection, not personal failure.
Identity and language — affirming neurodivergent identity and challenging harmful labels.
Trauma and safety — recognising chronic stress, intersectionality and the importance of autonomy and predictability.
Autistic community knowledge — valuing culture, shared wisdom and lived experience.
Each section includes explanations, reflection prompts and collaborative exercises for those supporting Autistic people, Autistic adults and young people (8+). It is intended to support shared learning.
The Online Modules
Eight recorded video sessions are available inside the Neurohub Community.
These sessions deepen the framework through discussion, real-life examples and practical reflection across home life, education, healthcare and workplaces. We talk honestly about masking, exhaustion, sensory strain and identity — modelling approaches rooted in dignity and relational care.
You can watch at your own pace, pause when needed and use the workbook alongside if you want to make notes.
Who This May Support
This resource may be helpful for:
- Families and carers supporting newly identified Autistic children
- Adults discovering their own neurodivergence
- Those navigating exhaustion, school stress or workplace strain
- Professionals seeking alternatives to compliance-based practice
- Autistic parents and advocates
- Anyone open to questioning neuronormative assumptions
A Different Starting Point
Much existing support begins with outward behaviour. We begin with nervous system safety and lived experience.
Rather than rewards, pressure or enforced social norms, we explore:
- Reducing demands
- Honouring focused interests
- Sensory protection
- Co-regulation
- Identity affirmation
- Shared collaborative approaches

An Invitation
Our hope is that this offering helps ease shame, deepen understanding and strengthen advocacy for Autistic people and their support network.
Autistic people flourish when there is safety, agency, sensory consideration and belonging.
We would love for you to join us in reshaping the narrative.
