CPD Accredited - Autism and Trauma


Monday, June 21, 2021 at 1 PM - 4 PM EDT

Being autistic in itself, is not traumatic. What is traumatic - is the constant worry and anguish that we are meeting the expectations of those around us.

In this empowering session, Jude Morrow and Evaleen Whelton discuss why autistic people young and old experience trauma. How professionals and parents, with their hearts in the right place - may even be inflicting trauma without realising it, and how families, professionals and groups can work together to reduce traumatic life-experiences for autistic people.

Jude and Evaleen will cover,

  • How trauma informed their own life-experiences and practices.
  • How self-acceptance will always help autistic people overcome trauma.
  • That well-meaning practices may be causing subtle harm.
  • How to build meaningful relationships with autistic people young and old using trauma-informed practice and steps.
