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

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
