The presenter gave a really good explanation of Autism and Neurodiversity. I loved the brief history of Autism at the beginning of the course, and her explanation of the differences of Disorder vs Disease, and Difference. The section of Person first vs Disability first was also very interesting. Over all this was a great learning experience.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and brought up a lot of conversation that I hadn't thought about (as an Occupational Therapist, but also a parent of a newly diagnosed autistic son who is 6 years old). I think I more in-depth course would be great to further dive into the models and differences of neurodivergent individuals.

I am an OT and am 61. My husband was recent diagnosed with autism (considered consistent with high functioning, although, I have learned to look at descriptives differently. I loved the presentation overall and shared some of the slides with my husband. Of course, nothing has changed, but we both now understand why he is the way he is. I'm going to have more patience and continue focusing on strengths. Thank you.

This course was excellent. I have worked with Autism for over 20 years & did not know all the underlying facts that were presented in this course. This is the first time that I have come across a professional on this platform who is not an OT. Perhaps there are many more presenters such as this. I hope to find more as it takes a village of resources to attempt full understanding of a given topic.

Believe the question marked wrong is incorrect. In the printout, page 9, of the presentation states "Positive adjectives go before the noun" with Identify first. So it would seem that answer C would be correct - It over-identifies a person as his/her/their condition.

There was a wealth of information provided during this course. It is quite a bit to process and absorb. I think if I were to speak with an actual adult who has been diagnosed with autism and get their perspective, then things would be clearer.
by

I thought this course would go into more depth of the current education on autism and neurodiversity given it is considered an advanced course. It seemed that the focus was more on the history. If you have a basic knowledge of autism, neurodiversity, and preferred terms (ask your client if they want to be called autistic or if they prefer person-first language), then this course is a review of history, which is still beneficial.
