Descripción

Autism diagnoses in adults are on the rise.

Adults are now reporting that their childhood diagnosis of anxiety, ODD, OCD, alone doesn’t make sense – autism is suspected.

How do you separate the complex characteristics of autism from common co-occurring mental health diagnosis?

In this session, autistic psychologist, speaker, and author, Dr. Wenn Lawson will teach you to how to assess for autism and separate it from other co-occurring mental health issues in adults.

Watch and learn:

  • How to interlace a neurodiversity affirming lens with DSM-5™ diagnostic criteria
  • The interplay between poor mental health and autism and impact of unmet needs
  • How autism presents differently in different gender identities

The impact of a diagnosis in adulthood can lead to self-injury, employment and relationship problems, other mental health issues including suicidality.
