Webinars
Whether you are diagnosed, self identifying as neurodivergent or curious, and want to understand why at times throughout life you completely crash - this two part webinar is for you.
This two part webinar is for adults not children or young people.
Viv and Courtney are both neurodivergent professionals and have many years experience in the understanding of burnout, recovery and nervous system. They will gently and compassionately take you on a journey to understand yourself, your brain and the nervous system better.
We will explore things like the impact of stigma, masking, alexithymia, monotropism and how we can end up overwhelmed, stuck and exhausted.
In the second session we will look at recovery, what helps us, what it can look like and what hinders our recovery journey.
Both sessions will be recorded and available to ticket holders after both sessions are finished.
The Autistic Burnout Network presents a webinar with Claire Betson (neurodivergent therapist and coach), Sofia Farzana (neurodivergent teacher and founder of SEMA - Scottish Ethnic Minority Autistics) and Viv Dawes (neurodivergent author and trainer) on Tues Nov 25th, 7pm, looking at the impact of colonisation on autistic people throughout the world.
Topics discussed will include misogyny, heirarchy, patriarchy and power, intersectionality, migration and climate.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions and the webinar will also be recorded.
A percentage of all ticket sales will go to charities working in Gaza.
Maybe you are an adult who has been diagnosed as autistic with a PDA (pathological demand avoidance) profile mentioned in your diagnosis report, or like me you self identify as a PDAer.
These two sessions are an opportunity to explore PDA adulting with Viv Dawes, who is a late diagnosed AuDHD and self identifies as PDA. Viv is a neurodivergent advocate, consultant, trainer and author of several books on autistic burnout.
Can PDAers thrive in a world so full of unfairness, demands and expectations?
