This is an online self-paced interactive learning module (3 hours).

This module covers similar material taught in the Mindful half day live webinar ‘ASD & Adults Introductory’. This module provides education to adult mental health clinicians about autism. No previous knowledge of autism is assumed. This course aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of autism in adulthood, as well as help clinicians to think differently about their approach to adult mental health so that they are more likely to consider autism when working with adults. During this course you will learn to:

· Identify how our understanding of autism has changed from the 20th century to the 21st century

· Understand the importance of considering a diagnosis of autism in adults with a co-occurring mental illness

· Identify potential features of autism in adults that would benefit from further assessment

· Identify the potential differences and similarities between the presentation of autism and mental health conditions in adults

· Identify adaptations that may be used to modify mental health practice to better meet the needs of autistic clients.

While completing this module, we aim to update your view of what it is to be autistic, and encourage you to consider the possibility of autism when you have a patient/consumer sitting in front of you. Throughout this course, you will be hearing from autistic people directly.

Please note it may take up to 72 hours after registration to gain access to the training.

Our training is only available to overseas based clinicians on a case-by-case basis.
