Click and Connect: Creative Space for Autistic Young People
Our Creative Space for Autistic Young People (12–15) is a welcoming online session where autistic young people can explore creativity in a relaxed, supportive environment. The group offers a mindful break from day‑to‑day pressures and encourages playful, imaginative expression.
Each 1‑hour session focuses on an artistic medium and an abstract theme designed to spark ideas and inspire the creative process. Participants are encouraged to interpret the theme in their own way, exploring different approaches and expressing their unique perspective.
Kirsten will offer guidance, tips, and techniques for working with various materials and creative approaches.

Meet the Host
Kirsten Duncan
Kirsten is neurodivergent and lives and works in the Scottish Highlands, drawing inspiration from the stunning landscapes of mountains, sea, and coastal wildlife. In addition to painting on canvas and paper, she creates art on wood, slate, and stones collected from the remote island where she lives, off the west coast.
She recently studied painting, printmaking, drawing, and illustration at the University of the Highlands and Islands, where she enjoyed experimenting with different media, colour, and techniques. In the summer months, Kirsten sells her art and crafts in a small island shop.
