Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

In this episode, we will discuss:

✅ Autistic identity is accepting yourself as you truly are.
✅ Behaviour often signals anxiety or distress, not intentional aggression.
✅ Negative narratives around autism significantly harm self-esteem.
✅ Behaviourist models wrongly focus on modifying autistic individuals.
✅ Effective support adapts environments rather than forcing individual changes.
✅ Autistic people experience burnout from societal pressure to mask.
✅ Language matters: Autism is an identity, not a removable label.
