Description
As well as being autistic, the course tutor, Dan Jones, has worked as a psychological therapist and worked supporting children/teens and families for over 20 years.

Between 1 in 68 and 1 in 100 people are autistic, many autistic adults are undiagnosed and may not even realise they could be autistic. Any counsellor or other psychological therapist in full-time practice is likely to encounter diagnosed and undiagnosed autistic clients. It could be that the client doesn't realise they are autistic and most counselling and therapy training doesn't cover autism, so the therapist also may not realise that the client could be autistic, yet knowledge of this could lead to better outcomes for that client and greater awareness of what support and guidance would be helpful.
