1/10 Professionals, parents and/or Autistics: my course 'The inside of Autism' kicks off on Nov 4th 7pm (BST). Its focused on reframing the #Autism narrative from an Autistic perspective, based on current research, introducing new concepts & giving new tools

2/ I cover:
The history of Autism & the role of research, Myths, What Autism actually is (and what it isn't), Co-occurring conditions, Gender, Sex & Minority groups inc the role of racism and sexism, The Neurodiversity paradigm, The sensory system, stimming & sensory invalidation

3/ Overwhelm, 'Behaviour', Understanding Autistic communication, Anxiety & why it's so prevalent,The role of stigma and marginalisation & their impact on Identity, Autistic Masking, Autistic Burnout and poor mental health, Enablement & self-advocacy; Autistic culture;

And trauma

4/ This course is not easy, it is designed to challenge your thinking and, if you are a professional, make you sit uncomfortably, but without judgement.

It is a big mirror held against what you thought you knew.

5/ All this happens over 6 sessions (with a 7th for free) If you come to live sessions that's at least 14 hours of training, Q&A and live discussion (last round lasted 22 hours in total)

I've had people come back repeatedly for the content AND the community that's formed.

6/ We've had Autistic people, parents, family members, SLTs, OTs, Psychologists, Teachers, Counsellors, Service Providers and many more, all learning together and all centred on validating Autistic experiences.

7/ It's available to anyone, anywhere. If you can't make the live deliveries, you get access to recordings of the training and still get 7 hours of support for £40 (approx $55US, $71CA, $76AU, €47)

8/ You also get a 100 page workbook and lots of extra supportive resources such as signposting, information and research and the opportunity to be in a rich, mixed online learning environment where Autistic voices are centred.

9/ This is not like any #Autism training you have been on before. Its not even 'autism' training. It's focused on Autistic *people*, unlearning, replacing confirmation bias, opening new doors and giving you new tools and a different lens to look through
