This workshop will focus on the difficulties parents, carers and those working with Autistic individuals experience in making sense of and responding to the behaviour of Autistic individuals. In particular we will explore the impact this behaviour can have on own behaviour and begin to look at how we can better ‘translate’ what Autistic individuals struggle to communicate through words, but often do so through their behaviour. The challenge, once we understand what is being communicated through the behaviour, is how to respond in appropriate ways.
