This course on autism and social skills will be an introduction to the Autistic perspective of autism. It will introduce parents, teachers, SNA’s and other practitioners to the emerging idea that Autistic children do not actually have deficits in social skills. Together we will explore what this means for traditional “social skills” training and the impact this sort of training has on Autistic people. €25 includes access to the recording, slides and cert of completion. Course length: 2 hours
