This workshop provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse characteristics of autism, emphasizing a pro-neurodiversity perspective. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how autistic individuals experience the world, with a focus on key topics such as:

Autistic Masking: Exploring the phenomenon of masking, where individuals hide or suppress autistic traits to fit into societal expectations, and the resulting emotional and mental strain it can cause, including burnout.

Ableism in Education: A discussion of how ableism manifests in schools, and how it affects the inclusion, well-being, and success of autistic students.

Through this session, participants will also receive practical, actionable strategies to better support autistic students in school settings.
