Research output: Contribution to conferenceConference session

Abstract

As the neurodiversity movement has grown, awareness of autism in counselor education and supervision contexts has emerged, mainly through the sharing of experiences. However, research is lacking related to autism among counselors, educators, or supervisors. In this session, participants will explore beliefs and biases related to autistic individuals in the field; examine current research related to autism; discuss autistic affirming strategies to support autistic individuals in CES; and network with colleagues to discuss a potential neurodiversity ACES Interest Network.
