Much that gets written about Autistics focuses on description, of traits, of ‘symptoms,’ of ‘behaviours,’ of likes and dislikes, of abilities and impairments. This is akin to describing the exterior of a house while remaining oblivious to how that building functions as a home to live in. Join us to explore the How and Why behind the ways Autistic people think, feel, imagine, hope, and how that plays out in real life scenarios. This course is ideal for parents, teachers, SNAs & therapists, but would also be useful for Autistic adults Course length 2hrs 30mins Investment includes certificate of completion, lifetime access and presentation slides. -
