Event Details:

Have you ever worked with an adult client and wondered whether they might be Autistic and didn’t know what to do next?

Best practices in diagnosing Autism with adults involve a clinical evaluation by a specialist. It relies on taking thorough developmental, academic, psychosocial, and medical histories to assess information about sensory sensitivities, social-communication, and behavioral functioning in various situations across the person’s life. While many of us don’t have the training to diagnose Autism in this comprehensive way, providers can still learn to recognize characteristics that may warrant further evaluation and support a better understanding of a client's strengths, challenges, and concerns. This can help to guide appropriate referrals and intervention.

This webinar explores common challenges providers encounter when working with adults who may be Autistic and offers practical neuro-affirming strategies for screenings, assessment, referral, and intervention.
