• What we mean by ‘identity’ and how it relates to autism.
• How processes of identification and diagnosis can impact how autistic people see ourselves.
• How others see us (and why it matters).
• Some identity-related strategies to support well-being and self-esteem.

In this webinar, Gill talks about:

• The “Double Empathy Problem” and its impact on relationships between autistic and non-autistic people.
• Challenging the myth that problems of interaction and ‘rapport’ between autistic and non-autistic people are a one-sided issue.
• How to manage and maintain relationships when you have just been diagnosed as autistic – Finding words and addressing questions and challenges.
• How to look after ourselves in relationships – Including managing the effects of ‘rejection sensitivity’ and lived experience of discrimination, and keeping ourselves safe.
