Anna Nicholson<p>Chloe notes that *group* CBT appears to work for Autistic people</p><p>But is it really the CBT that’s effective in that setting, or is it just sharing common experiences with other Autistics?</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/CBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CBT</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/therapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>therapy</span></a></p>

Anna Nicholson<p>Inertia can look like depression to a therapist, says Chloe</p><p>We need to be aware of our sensory profiles</p><p>Chloe recommends Ben Usher-Barrass’s ‘A guide to autistic experience’ – and also the infographics on Ben’s website <a href="https://www.autisticality.co.uk" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">autisticality.co.uk</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a></p>
Anna Nicholson<p>Nature therapy may not work for Autistic people like Chloe who are tactile averse</p><p>Talking about aphantasia and hyperphantasia now, and how this can impact on therapeutic approaches</p><p>Touching on Rachel Cullen’s Autistic Language Hypothesis here too (not sure that the description here is entirely accurate)</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/TouchAversion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TouchAversion</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticLanguageHypothesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticLanguageHypothesis</span></a></p>
Anna Nicholson<p>Why might mental health treatments not work for Autistic people?</p><p>First of all, therapists need to know about ordinary Autistic behaviours to be able to differentiate these from mental health problems, says Chloe</p><p>We may have difficulty in recognising mental health issues in ourselves too – alexithymia, different baseline</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/therapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>therapy</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/CBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CBT</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alexithymia</span></a></p>
Anna Nicholson<p>On top of mental health difficulties that we share with the general population, Chloe notes that there are a number of Autistic-specific mental health issues: overwhelm, meltdown, shutdown, burnout (not the same as depression), harmful stims</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a></p>
Anna Nicholson<p>Very pleased to hear that Chloe shares my view that there is no such thing as ‘autism’ – there are just Autistic people</p><p>We have differences (from the non-Autistic world) in our experience of the sensory world, in communication, and in thinking, socialising and moving</p><p>There is no one way to be Autistic</p><p>Just because we need support to varying extents doesn’t mean that we lack some ‘independence’ that other people have</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/SensoryProcessing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SensoryProcessing</span></a></p>
Anna Nicholson<p>The popular notion of the ‘spectrum’ (often thought of as a linear continuum) is also profoundly unhelpful – they reference this excellent comic strip: <a href="https://the-art-of-autism.com/understanding-the-spectrum-a-comic-strip-explanation/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">the-art-of-autism.com/understa</span><span class="invisible">nding-the-spectrum-a-comic-strip-explanation/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spectrum</span></a></p>
Anna Nicholson<p>Chloe Farahar (Aucademy) is on now, talking about Autistic mental wellbeing, and will be talking about the usefulness (or otherwise) of CBT and the prevalence of trauma, among other things</p><p>First they are considering ‘outsider’ clinical descriptions of autism (e.g. DSM-V) and the way we as Autistic people internalise this negative portrayal of autism</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/CBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CBT</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trauma</span></a></p>

Anna Nicholson<p>Really enjoying the North East Autism Society’s online conference ‘Acceptance Matters’ :GoldInfinity:</p><p>I wasn’t going to watch the first talk, by Ruth Jenks, as I didn’t think I’d find a talk on communication as Autistic parents useful, but it was brilliantly clear and very relevant – she addressed a lot of things relevant to Autistic experience regardless of parenthood</p><p>[thread]</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a></p>
