Autism: A general introduction

Matthew's Hub is a Hull-based charity supporting autistic adults and young people, and those with ADHD. One of our aims is to raise awareness of how best to support neurodivergent individuals and we do this through training and workshops. 

We firmly believe that an academic understanding of theory is vital, and that there is nothing like training delivered from a lived experience. For this reason, our training is written and delivered by neurodivergent staff

We cover topics such as:

1. What is Autism,
2. myth busting,
3. functioning labels,
4. traits and how they present in everyday life,
5. masking,
6. stimming,
7. sensory

This general introduction session is designed for anyone interested in learning more about autism. It is suitable for individuals considering a diagnosis, those who have already been diagnosed, as well as family members and friends of autistic adults. 

The session includes general examples drawn from lived experiences.

This session is free for those living in Hull & East Riding, there is a fee for those living outside the region.

This training takes place online and a meeting link will be provided closer to the scheduled event.
