Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), and ADHD.
About this Event
This course explores the interconnected relationships between trauma, Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), and ADHD across the lifespan.
As part of this workshop, you will learn to differentiate the core characteristics of autism and ADHD, understand how presentations vary by age, gender, and culture, and adopt strengths-based, neurodivergence-affirming perspectives. A key focus is the impact of trauma on brain development, emotional regulation, and behaviour, including how trauma can mimic or mask autistic and ADHD traits, contributing to misdiagnosis.
The course also considers how the experience of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world can itself be traumatic. It concludes with practical, trauma-informed and affirming strategies to promote safety, regulation, and empowerment in clinical, educational, and community settings.
