WEBINAR: Is that clear? Effective communication in a neurodiverse world

Acrobat - Global

Meet Joe Butler, autism consultant, founder of SEND Support and co-author of Is that clear? Effective communication in a neurodiverse world.

In this free webinar, Joe will be sharing some of the book's practical tips for how allistic (non-autistic) people can communicate more inclusively with autistic people. The book amplifies the valuable insights and experiences of our panel of autistic readers, and has since received great feedback from both autistic and allistic readers alike. It has reached the finals of the Business Book Awards UK in the Diversity, Inclusion and Equality category.Here are some reviews from our readers:I welcome this book and hope it contributes to a sea-change in the way that autistic socialising is understood. We don't 'lack' social skills, we just have different social skills. Autistic ones. Dean Beadle, autistic speaker, trainer, writer and singerA book like this is incredibly validating and will not only make for better communication between autistic and allistic people, but will change the way that people see and respect how autistic people communicate. It’s such an important book and twists the narrative on its head, so thank you. Erin Ekins, Writer and ActivistNice to see publications like this being produced, that take a respectful approach to communication with autistic people. Dr Damian Milton, Author, Consultant, Lecturer, Researcher and parentIs That Clear? is a breath of fresh air in the world of neurodiverse communications. Succinct, practical--and, yes, clear--this highly accessible book will be a huge help to readers seeking to improve their communication with autistic individuals. As an autistic adult, I felt a sense of relief going through the book, because the authors described our challenges so well. Is That Clear? could prove extremely useful for parents, educators, employers or anyone interested in bridging the neurodiverse divide. Highly recommended! Eric Endlich, Psychologist &amp; Founder of Top College Consultants® , Author of OLDER AUTISTIC ADULTS The Lost Generation The layout, the clarity, and the content of this book bring the goal of communication success so much closer. It's an absolute thrill to know this resource is 'out there’. For allistic and autistic people alike, we now have a better chance of understanding each other. Dr Wenn B Lawson, Autistic Consultant and PsychologistIf we could get this to become mainstream reading within the NHS, within any public service and within employer organisations, there are so many autistic people who currently have no employment, but who could work with support and with understanding... this guide is the key to unlock the door for so many people and it’s a massive contribution which will make a difference to people’s lives. Sir Norman Lamb, ex MP and Chair of the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation TrustAs the parent of an autistic son, this is enlightening – an essential read that opens our eyes to the power and importance of kind, considered, effective communication. Jane Lush, parent
