This online course uses arts to to explore and deepen your understanding of autism, as well as providing practical exercises to take back to your workplace.

Over the four week duration of the course, we will be using fiction to explore the worldview of characters with autism, as well as trying out some writing exercises for ourselves. We will also use narrative theory to analyse the books and the ways in which these stories are told every day in healthcare settings and in literature alike.

For those who work clinically, the course begins with an overview of current practice in autism including diagnosis, management and the wider challenges faced by those in the neuroatypical community.
