Event Description
Autistic adults and members of the LGBTQIA+ community are two intersecting populations that are still widely underserved by the mental health profession. In this interactive virtual presentation, two 'actually autistic' clinicians will provide an overview of how queerness and
autism intersect, the impacts of minority stress on this population, the troubling similarities between common autism treatment and conversion therapy, and provide best practices for clinical work with queer autistic adults.
Learning Objectives-
1) Participants will be able to describe the intersectionality of queerness and autism, and identify the minority stress experienced by queer autistic adults.
2) Participants will be able to identify similarities between conversation therapy and common autism treatment methods.
3) Participants will be able to implement best practices for clinical work with autistic queer adults.
