Talk Description
In this 90 minute co-presented session, Rebecca Challoner and Christina Keeble will successively present their lived experience insights and professional expertise on the intersection of Autism, ADHD and Trauma – a must see presentation for those working with children and young people with dual diagnoses/experiences looking to learn more.
Rebecca’s presentation ‘ADHD and Generational Trauma’ will explore how the generational experience of ADHD and the associated impact of anger and dysregulated emotion can lead to family violence.
Following Rebecca, Christina will be speaking on ‘Autism and trauma - the importance of accurate diagnosis’. Using insights from her own story, she will explore the importance of understanding your own neurotype, strengths and challenges, showing how this impacts on the wellbeing, understanding of self for survivors and leads to increased self-advocacy and facilitates more effectively taught protective behaviours.
