Help autistic adolescents build self-understanding, confidence, and emotional tools in a way that honors who they are.
Growing My Way is a self-guided workbook created for autistic adolescents (ages 10 to 18) to better understand who they are, how autism shows up in their life, and what supports their well-being. On their journey, they build meaningful coping skills that reduce overwhelm and support emotional regulation in everyday situations. The workbook was written by Julia Curtis, MA, LPC, CAS, CCTP, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Autism Specialist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. It offers gentle, practical guidance grounded in neurodiversity-affirming care.
Inside, you’ll find:
Engaging activities that explore communication, emotions, relationships, sensory needs, masking, autistic burnout, and more
Visuals and checklists to support processing, organization, and self-reflection
Coping tools and strategies to reduce overwhelm and support regulation in daily life
Dedicated space for adolescents to personalize their journey and express themselves
Encouraging prompts that support confidence, self-awareness, and growth
This resource is designed for adolescents to move at their own pace, whether they are using it on their own, in therapy, in school, or with the support of a trusted adult. It is flexible, clinician-friendly, and built to help autistic youth feel seen, supported, and empowered as they grow.
Helpful for:
Individual use
Counseling and therapy
Social-emotional learning
Group settings or classrooms
Home use with caregiver support
