For professionals who support Autistic adults
“I would highly recommend the course to any professional wishing to provide a more informed and ethical support for their neurodivergent clients. The tutors are all very knowledgeable in their field of expertise and I was provided with a wealth of further reading and resources to keep for future use.”
“A truly insightful and transformative experience for me. The course felt like an immersion in the lived experience of an autistic person. The trainers are autistic themselves and the majority of my classmates happened to also be neurodivergent. This made it a unique learning experience for me which has impacted me both professionally and personally since. Highly recommend this for all psychotherapists.”
“It’s been an enlightening and eyeopening course for me, from start to finish. I’ve learnt so much and have had to rethink so much over the last few months. Thank you all at Ausome Training for facilitating that experience!”

“Personally, it has helped me in too many ways to mention. Professionally, it is hard to measure, but there are at least 3 people that now know they are Autistic – neither I nor they knew before I did this course.”

Eoin Stephens
Psychotherapist & Counsellor
“As therapists, we need to adapt our therapeutic settings, approaches and goals to the particular ways Autistic people process the world.”
Evaleen Whelton
AUsome Founder & Speech and Drama Teacher
“Our community needs you. We need people to see beyond the medical model and to support us through the trauma of exclusion.”
Katie Munday
Researcher & Consultant
“It’s important to listen to Autistic people, really listen to us. We are the experts in our experiences, and what could make our lives more liveable.”
Stiof Macamhalghaidh
Theorist & Subject Matter Expert
“Dignity is our soul. Joy is our sustenance. We have a lot to be proud of, and I say ‘we’ deliberately because the pride I feel in being Autistic is a shared experience as a member of a community.”
Katie Kerley
OT & Director of Horizons Therapy Services
“Enforcing neuro-normative standards of behaviour and occupation denies an Autistic person the right to their own individuality and the right to choose what is meaningful to them. This is an occupational justice issue as well as a human rights issue.”
Grace Harrison
Psychotherapist
“Immerse yourself in the lived experience of autistic people”.
