Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects 1 in 54 children in America (CDC, 2020). Although symptoms can vary in type and severity, individuals on this spectrum often struggle in social settings (e.g., communication deficits), exhibit restricted and/or repetitive behaviors or interests, and may not perform well in school, work, or other settings. Relative to the general population, individuals with ASD are also at greater risk of adverse life experiences such as being bullied, exploited, victimized, and abused (i.e., verbally, physically, or sexually) along with other forms of maltreatment. Designed for professionals, this 3-hour training serves to highlight the consequences of adverse life experiences on individuals with ASDs. Other related topics covered include theory of mind, empathy, parenting stress, emotion regulation, behavioral regulation, internalizing psychopathology, externalizing psychopathology, substance use, and self-harm. The presenter also discusses implications for screening and intervention.
