Key challenges related to autism and other neurodivergent identities (such as ADHD and PTSD) including executive function, sensory, cognitive, social, and emotional issues faced, mental and physical health comorbidities, and practical strategies and life hacks to support your students and yourself will be discussed.
Lisa Macafee is an autistic non-binary counselor at Santa Ana College who completed their PsyD with a focus on autism and gender diversity. They have two fabulous autistic kids, a supportive husband, a shy cat, and run www.AffirmingNeurodiversity.com about the challenges of being an autistic professional in the world.
