Description:

Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

In this episode, we will discuss:

✅ Autistic identity is accepting yourself as you truly are. ✅ Behaviour often signals anxiety or distress, not intentional aggression. ✅ Negative narratives around autism significantly harm self-esteem. ✅ Behaviourist models wrongly focus on modifying autistic individuals. ✅ Effective support adapts environments rather than forcing individual changes. ✅ Autistic people experience burnout from societal pressure to mask. ✅ Language matters: Autism is an identity, not a removable label.
