Training

Unfortunately, due to the closure of Autism Understanding Scotland from the end of January 2024, we are no longer offering this service.

Previous participants consistently report that hearing directly from autistic professionals about autistic lived experience is the most impactful and insightful autism training they have ever received.

Topics previously covered include:

  • What autism actually is

  • Myth busting

  • Autistic communication and culture

  • Sensory processing

  • How to make organisations inclusive of autistic people

  • Supporting autistic people in the workplace or education

  • Autistic rights

  • How to tell a child they are autistic

  • Meltdowns, shutdowns and elopement

  • Masking and autistic burnout

  • Autistic joy

As well as engaging with the staff and stakeholders of our partners above, individual training participants have come from police and fire services, social work, teaching staff, language therapists and health visitors.
