Mutual Respect Network Seminar
Understanding Autism
Online
2nd July 2025
7.00 to 8.30 GMT
Presenter: Paul McManus PgDip Psychotherapeutic Counselling and PgCert Autism Studies
The majority of autistic people in the UK are undiagnosed adults; people who don’t know they’re autistic. And, as autistic people suffer from anxiety and depression at a significantly higher rate than the general population, they are statistically more likely to seek therapy. Which means that if you’re seeing clients, you’re seeing autistic clients. And if you’re practicing in the way we’ve all been taught to practice, there’s a better than average chance that your work will be, at best, ineffective and at worst, actually harmful. In this talk I intend to speak briefly about what autism is; how our understanding of it has changed; how it might present in the consulting room and what I find most effective when working with autistic clients.
