Wednesday 12th February 2025, 9.00-10.30am
Online event
Join Dr Wenn Lawson, world-renowned Autistic author, presenter, researcher, parent and grandparent for our upcoming workshop to learn more about how this important area shapes every Autistic experience. Covering the key areas of executive functioning, monotropism and inertia, task completion, and demand processing, this workshop will support you to understand better some of the challenges and benefits of Autistic ways of thinking and processing. It will help you build empathy and develop strategies for solving problems and navigating everyday life.
This workshop will:
- Define some key differences in Autistic executive functioning, and explore how these might manifest in Autistic people’s daily lives (including organisation, communication and task completion),
- Offer practical tips to support executive functioning challenges, and maximise organic Autistic ways of processing,
- Consider how monotropism and Autistic inertia impact executive functioning,
- Discuss the ways that Autistic executive functioning can be affected by demand overwhelm, or the interpretation of demands, and
- Explore practical ways to harness monotropic processing to benefit Autistic individuals and their executive functioning.
Professional ticket holders will receive a 1.5 hr CPD certificate for their attendance.
