About this event
If you are an Autistic person, parent, carer, teacher, teaching assistant, social worker, therapist or mental health professional then this 3 hour autism course “an intro to autism” is for you.
What You Will Walk Away With...
- A sense of hope for the future, not despair.
- That being autistic is not only perfectly normal, but absolutely okay!
- How you can develop the right mindset toward autism and autistic people to have better outcomes at home, school, work, and in the wider world.
You may be learning about Autism for the first time - it is easy to fall into a negative space. We understand that!
What the trainers want you to achieve in this session - is an attitude of staying away from deficits - and championing the strengths autistic people have.
If you feel , like Evaleen and Jude that the narrative around autism is far too negative and often that explanations don’t feel right for the person in your life then join us for an insightful, informative and life-changing session on 31st Jan 6-9pm GMT.
