  • Autism and Addiction

     25.00 175.00
    with Eoin Stephens, Autistic counsellor and addiction specialist duration 1h 56m    |   for social workers, mental health professionals, therapists, parents, and Autistic adults.

    The role of addiction within the Autistic and wider Neurodivergent community is little-discussed. This is a problem - Autistic people regularly use a range of potentially addictive substances and activities as part of their coping strategies, and the risk of transition into addiction is ever-present.

    Eoin draws on many years of experience in the field to discuss this topic, bringing important information to light along with nuance around what we mean by 'addiction.'

  • May 31st  6-9pm GMT 

    Autistic People tend to be anxious by nature - Jude and Evaleen ask, "why is this?" Professionals, teachers and others will lead you to believe that autistic people are anxious because we "lack social skills, communication skills and lack understanding". This could not be further from the truth. The reason autistic people are anxious by nature, is a profound one, and it doesn't come from any of the "reasons" outlined above.

  • 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.

If using this course for a group training please enter the name of the organisation as only one certificate will be provided.

  • Autism and Trauma

     35.00 250.00
    Why are we even talking about autism and trauma? What we are beginning to see quite clearly from most current research is that levels of trauma are higher in the Autistic population than in the general public.  "Autism training" and "autism courses" which are designed without Autistic input can mean that there is actually very little real and meaningful understanding of autism. Unfortunately trauma responses in Autistic children and adults are not always recognised. They are often misinterpreted as "Autistic Behaviours" but there is no Autistic behaviour only human behaviour. When trauma responses are ignored then this can lead to even more trauma for the Autistic person. When we view Autistic behaviour as human behaviour we begin to see a very different picture to that painted by misinformed professionals who are basing their ideas on outdated ideology. This session is ideal for parents, carers, teacher, teaching assistants, mental health professionals, medical staff and Autistic people themselves. Course Length 3hrs

    Price €35 includes cert, recording and slides

     "Ausome Training’s Autism & Trauma webinar is so enlightening and insightful. If you are involved in anyway with autism, please please take the time to do it. The world needs to catch up. Autism is so misunderstood. The trauma they unnecessarily suffer could so easily be avoided. Things need to change NOW."

  • Autism: Trauma and Behaviour

     20.00 160.00
    One word that often arises in conjunction with 'autism' - particularly when discussing Autistic children - is 'behaviour.' We hear terms like 'autism behaviours' or 'challenging behaviour' or 'repetitive behaviour' or 'dysfunctional behaviours.' It's no secret that AUsome Training has issues with the B-Word. It is almost always used to define actions in negative ways, but more than that, it is seeded through books, videos, discussions, training and more as if there's nothing more to 'those people' beyond their 'behaviours.'
    Behaviour - or actions, responses, reactions - does not emerge magically from the ether but is the product of experiences and an expression of personality, of needs, and a direct response to those experiences. This is how we have understood 'behaviour' for decades now, yet Autistics continue to be treated as if we are just mechanisms without feelings or intellect.
    This course is ideal for relatives, educators and those in caring professions living and working with younger Autistic people. All content is directly applicable to those living and working with adults also. Course length 1hr 45mins

    Once you complete this on-demand course you will receive a certificate of completion. Please ensure you enter your name correctly as the name you enter will appear on your certificate. If using this course for a group training please enter the name of the organisation as only one certificate will be provided.

  • 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.
