Our Community Short Course on Reframing Autistic Behaviour provides an accessible approach to understanding key aspects of Autistic experiences, including emotional dysregulation, behaviours, and practical support. This course will equip you with essential insights and tools on key topics, including:

• Overwhelm: Learn how to spot the early signs of emotional dysregulation and understand sensory overload, reducing stress and creating a calmer atmosphere.
• Behaviour: Transform your perspective on "challenging" behaviours by understanding the difference between inability and unwillingness, and gain insights to foster smoother daily routines and more empathetic relationships.
• Anxiety & PDA: Understand how anxiety and PDA significantly impacts daily life, and learn strategies to manage these challenges and provide a more supportive environment.
• Practical Support: Discover the importance of interoception, our eighth sense, and learn effective co-regulation techniques to support emotional balance and long-term well-being at every stage of life.

Throughout the short course, you will benefit from best practices endorsed by the Autistic community and innovative research on Autism. Our carefully curated resources combine lived experiences with peer-reviewed studies, providing a comprehensive learning experience. Reflective questions and an optional mini quiz are included to deepen your understanding, and you will also have access to additional resources to further support your learning.
