Autism and Sensory Processing

Description

Autism and Sensory Processing

Our Autism and Sensory Processing course is delivered by AUsome Training founder Evaleen and our Subject Matter Expert MAQQI, creator of the Convergent-Divergent Feedback (CDF) Model of Autistic Living which has transformed how we understand Autistic sensory experience.

You may have noticed that we did not include the word “disorder” after processing. Autistic people are more environmentally sensitive, not disordered!

On this course we guide you in an exploration of the Autistic sensory experience. We look at how we feel and experience the world. We look at how a hostile environment can impact us negatively and suggest ways that we can adapt the environment to support Autistic children and adults to thrive.

Our environment includes the physical world but it also includes our social world, a much overlooked but crucial aspect of our environmental experiences across the full span of our lives. We delve into the ways this impacts our emotional well-being

You will be introduced to the close connection between our sensory experiences and emotional states, and how this shapes how we come to understand ourselves, the world, and our relationship with it. MAQQI explains how we learn through our senses and how environmental forces impact our emotions and our abilities to process sensory-emotional information… and create those ‘behaviours’ we hear so much about.
