I’ve been wanting to learn more about neurodiverse-affirming practice and feel this really helped educate me. I would have liked to have seen more specific examples in treatment such as how to help such individuals be more functional and independent while still respecting their neurodivergence. For example, how to handle a specific concern or behavior brought to our attention that’s impacting a child’s occupation. How to better help them be more functional in a neurodiverse-affirming way.

Explaining new terminology and providing more depth to these terms
by
Member
on
January 20, 2025
While it is exciting to see this topic go in this direction, some pause is warranted. I understand that the person with Autism carries a weight to understand the neurotypical but there is also a weight for the ally. In my opinion it's better to disclose difficulties in these relationships like the neurotypical feeling lonely, possibly having the lion's share of adult responsibilities or ignoring true red flags. These kids grow up; it would be a disservice to leave anyone happy but unequipped.

The reason I selected "moderately" for increasing level of knowledge is because this is my area of expertise. I work clinically with clients in college and in pediatrics, and I also am a consultant for a company addressing neuroinclusion and neurodiversity in the workplace via corporate trainings. I am currently involved in a large project for the biopharmaceutical industry and am conducting a needs assessment for two large corporations to inform our training. This course was excellent!
