Autism training that sticks

So…following on from last week’s question — ‘What should I prioritise in a short autism understanding online session?’

There’s so much that feels important, but only a short window to make a meaningful connection.

Participants will arrive with different assumptions, levels of knowledge, and lived or professional experiences. 

The risk is ending up with a session that’s overloaded, too abstract, or too surface-level.

I’m not aiming to be the expert who delivers all the answers, but rather to open up a space for reflection, curiosity, and useful insight. 

The kind that sticks and sparks further learning.

So, it’s about good style of delivery as well as good content.

It’s all about the “E’s: Engaging, Enthusing and Empowering and a little bit Entertaining.

Now I am thinking about what the common mistakes are that are made in online autism training.

What to avoid to make the best use of a short time?
