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.'

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.Price €35 includes cert, recording and slides
