Autism Awareness Course

Aaron

Hi to you all 

I have been referred for an Autism assessment.

Due to mental health problems I have been attending Zoom meetings with a local NHS project.  They are in the process of creating a six week Autism awareness course. They have asked people including those diagnosed or on a waiting list or parents to help contribute or co-produce the course.  I have offered to help. I have thought and looked stuff up and considering stuff: the best way to explain Autism, the good aspects of it, the struggles people have to face. I thought to myself well why not ask you guys to get a broader picture. So hey you guys what would you think/feel the best things would be to include in an Autism Awareness Course. What would you yourselves like to be brought up. Also what would be best if there will be a mix of people.

It is good that they are creating this course in order to expand knowledge and that it will seek the views of people with lived experience.

  • Who want to make a bet that the training will only focus on intellectual disabilities and not autism itself. 

    who else want to bet that the training will be focused on children and teenagers. 

    who want to bet that the training is going to be carried out by a neurological typical human who has a small 2 year old nephew or child with autism and thinks they can speak on behalf of the autistic community and poorly inform medical professionals about autism. 

    who wants to bet it will include a unit on how to use language to confuse and deny autistic individuals treatment, help and support.
