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 joy
  • Interest-led learning
  • Where interests can lead to for Autistic people

Description

This webinar takes a look at the passionate interests (formerly known as ‘special interests’) that Autistic people often become dedicated to.

Scott outlines why interests are so important to Autistic people, particularly in the face of a world that too often misunderstands or is hostile to Autistic ways of being. He explores the positive implications passionate interests have for our wellbeing. He also focuses on Autistic joy, on interest-led learning, and where interests can lead to for Autistic people.

Scott also explores how many Autistics build on their passions through interest-led learning to engage with education, become experts, providing the basis for joyful lived experience and meaningful careers alike.
