Our training covers core capabilities 1 and 2 and includes up-to-date information that is important to understand about autistic people.
This includes an understanding of double empathy, monotropism, autistic inertia, and the difficulties that autistic people have with their executive functioning skills because of the monotropic mind and autistic inertia.
Our training is bespoke and differentiated to meet the needs of health care, mental health, and social care staff.
