This workshop is for counsellors, therapists, and mental health professionals who want to work more effectively and ethically with Autistic adults—especially those late-diagnosed or navigating complex neurodivergence. If you’ve ever felt unsure how to interpret shutdowns, missed emotional cues, or wondered whether your modality is truly accessible, this workshop is for you.

What you’ll gain:
• Cultural competence: Learn how to understand autism as a culture, not a pathology, and how to work with Autistic communication styles, values, and norms.
• Polyvagal-informed strategies: Adapt nervous system regulation tools to Autistic presentations, including masking, shutdowns, and burnout.
• Case study analysis: Explore real-world examples of NT/ND couples counselling and unpack common misinterpretations through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.
• Lived experience insights: Includes quotes from Autistic adults and reflections on systemic barriers, trauma, and misdiagnosis.
• Practical tools: Use reflective exercises, sensory assessments, and masking activities to support clients in unmasking and identity work.
• Editable workbook and slides: Designed for reuse in your own practice, supervision, or team training.

This workshop is:
• Trauma-informed
• Culturally humble
• Grounded in current research and Autistic perspectives
• Suitable for ACA and PACFA members seeking OPD points
