I am an autistic mental health counsellor and I found this presentation engaging and informative. Maybe I might have wanted a little more about neurodivergence as a broad concept but i can get that elsewhere. As i said above I really enjoyed this, found it engaging and informative. Thankyou

This was one of the most important, informative and amazing event on Neurodivergence. It was very detailed and intimate which gave me a sense of understanding on a bigger level. I feel from this event, I'll have more understanding of my Neurodivergent clients and within family dynamics.

Clear, concise sensitive and so informative, it was great that you took so many questions as it answered a lot of questions for me . Thank you!

All therapists need to understand neurodivergence rather than being afraid of a different way of thinking and being. Cathie offers her own unique insights into her lived experiences as an autistic woman with ADHD, both diagnosed in her mid-50's. She aptly relates this to the therapeutic experience and provokes viewers to think about how they approach their client work including their sensory experiences, different communication needs, and importantly therapists offering greater flexibility when necessary. Cathie talks candidly about her post-diagnosis experiences and she stresses "it's not just a label", being neurodivergent is the essence of who she is. She also highlights a lack of post-diagnostic services nationally which are essentially needed.

An excellent introduction into understanding autism (thanks to Cathie for her courageous disclosures) and things to consider when working with someone on the spectrum. Very helpful and insightful.
