What is Autism?

The BDA are delighted to work with Dr Sarah White on this fascinating and insightful webinar!

Explanation of the session:

This session will explore the latest thinking and research on what autism is; it's traits and characteristics, and how it can impact on an individual, looking at potential challenges and talents.

About our Speaker

Dr White has recently been conducting research that attempts to draw out the benefits of the social difficulties in autism aswell as  the talents and strengths associated with Autism.  Dr White is an autism researcher at UCL's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, studying cognitive abnormalities through behavioural and neuroimaging techniques.  The ultimate aim is to understand autism better in order that evidence-based interventions can be developed that are targeted at the source and make a real difference.

 There will be a chance to ask questions at the end and we provide a CPD certificate.
