Autistic Joy And Passionate Interests

€ 15.00 – € 150.00
with Scott Neilson, Autistic author, trainer and consultant duration 1h 13m | for Autistic people, their families, support professionals and educators.

The association of Autistics with 'special interests' is well known. The preferred phrasing - Passionate Interests - tells us more about the depth of those interests and about Autistic people themselves. In the words of fellow AUsome trainer MAQQI, Autistics are "passionate people in a vivid world" and it is that passion and vividness - and the joy this generates - that Scott focuses on here.

He also focuses on Autistic joy, on interest-led learning, and where interests can lead to for Autistic people.

Why passionate interests are so important to Autistic people

Positive implications our interests they have for our wellbeing

Autistic Sensory Sensitivity

€ 30.00 – € 200.00

Sensory sensitivity is the latest addition to the diagnostic criteria used by clinicians assessing Autistics, less than a decade ago. However, Autistic people have been well aware just how prominent a characteristic this is for a lot longer, and understanding of the diversity and importance of those sensitivities is central to appreciating just how ‘being Autistic’ works on a daily basis.

Autism and Play

€ 30.00 – € 200.00

with MAQQI, Subject Matter Expert at AUsome Training duration 2h 30m | for parents, educators and therapists for younger Autistics

All too often the play of Autistic children is defined as inappropriate or, worse, as dysfunctional.

In this fresh, empowering discussion of the ways Autistics play, MAQQI upends that narrative showing Autistic kids as curious, creative, smart and very capable... and in the process provides those caring for and working with them the insights to appreciate and engage in new ways.

What emerges is a picture of smart, adaptive, functional human minds at work in a context of chronic adversity that describes and explains, but also points to opportunities for caregivers and educators to leverage this new understanding and better support Autistics in their care.

Autistic and ADHD

€ 30.00 – € 200.00

On the face of it, many characteristics of being Autistic and many of those for ADHD seem to fly in opposite directions. However, probably about a third of Autistics also are ADHD, so how does that even work? Can you really be distracted and focused, novelty-oriented and sameness-oriented, empathetic and unempathetic, creative and pedantic? A lot of the answers lie in breaking down simple assumptions and stereotypes like those, but also in digging deeper into how and why characteristics such as these arise to start with. By exploring questions like these, we will build a picture of how life works for ‘shiny sparkles’ (Autistic ADHDers), and how the combination can often result in some exceptional creativity along the way. This course is ideal for Autistics suspecting they have ADHD. but would also be useful for teachers, SNAs, GPs, family members, therapists etc. Course Length 2hrs 30mins Investment includes certificate of completion, lifetime access and presentation slides.

How Autistic Minds Work

€ 30.00 – € 200.00

Much that gets written about Autistics focuses on description, of traits, of ‘symptoms,’ of ‘behaviours,’ of likes and dislikes, of abilities and impairments. This is akin to describing the exterior of a house while remaining oblivious to how that building functions as a home to live in. Join us to explore the How and Why behind the ways Autistic people think, feel, imagine, hope, and how that plays out in real life scenarios. This course is ideal for parents, teachers, SNAs & therapists, but would also be useful for Autistic adults Course length 2hrs 30mins Investment includes certificate of completion, lifetime access and presentation slides.
