Autism and emotions, what do the professionals say about Autistics and our emotions?  Often it is said that we can’t identify our own emotions . Professionals also say that we cannot tell how others are feeling. It is said that we cannot regulate our emotional state, or express our emotions and empathy. There are endless therapies and techniques to teach Autistic kids about their emotions. But do Autistic people need to be taught about our emotions? 

Autistic people are human so therefore our emotions are central to everything we do. In this recorded webinar you will learn more about Autistic kids and adults and our relationship with our emotions. You will see  much of what is said about Autistic people is inaccurate. The world responds to Autistic people differently. We are not accepted as we are. Everything we do is pathologised. In order to understand our emotional reactions then we must look at what we are reacting to. The environment impacts how we feel and how are emotions are interpreted. 

How do we express our emotions? A lot of our emotion is expressed through body language. Autistic body language differs from non-autistic body language so often our emotional expressions are misinterpreted. Stimming is our language and if people don’t understand that we express our emotional state through our stims then they can try to interfere with our stims. This can often mean that our natural way of regulating our emotions is impeded. How could are others at reading Autistic emotions?
