4th Autism and Systemic Practice Conference: Re-Visioning Neuro-Inclusive Therapeutic Services with and by Autistic People – Thursday 6th and Friday 7th July 2023 – ONLINE – At this conference, this online event, we will hear some examples of how services have developed that draw on the experience, expertise and leadership of autistic people. And we will re-imagine theory and practice to inform future service design.

We will have time to listen and talk in small groups to discuss:

  • What theories do therapists need to work with autistic people – when autistic people can be so different from each other?
  • Which systemic ideas about context and identity could be useful?
  • How should and could autistic people influence training programmes and service design?

Who is the conference for?

  • Therapists (this includes Counsellors, Psychotherapists, Systemic Practitioners, Psychologists, Social Workers, Mental Health Workers, Carers, Psychiatrists)
  • Policy makers and Managers
  • Autistic people, neurodivergent families and networks
