Mental health and wellness is important for all people. To support mental health and wellness for people with an autism diagnosis, it is important to understand their particular style of thinking and the way their brain handles information along with the impact of both environmental and other types of trauma. Additionally, when it comes to mental health and well-being, there are specific stressors unique to autistic individuals. This three part series will take a look at these topics, giving you a foundation of shared knowledge important for all – individual with ASD, parent, teacher, support worker, therapist or anyone interested in this topic.
