Autism Consultancy Services

It is not unusual for the majority of us to need some practice before exposing ourselves to any new condition, even for simple things in life such as ... how to fry an egg! How many, though, can get the chance to try before they fly? Is it really needed? Well, for some people ‘yes’ and for a significant number of autistic individuals - for a number of reasons - an absolute YES!! Belfast City Airport in collaboration with Queen's University Belfast and Aer Lingus Regional do exactly this; a huge applause!!!

Nowadays, more often than ever, criticisms about ABA from autistic advocates are on the rise. It is significant to clarify, though, that the values of advocates of the neurodiversity paradigm and ABA providers have far more in common than in difference. An excellent read (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40617-024-00907-3) that also provides practical guidance for an even better integration of ABA within the social model of disability.

It was not very long ago when the future of adults with autism could not be seen away from any sort of ‘institutionalisation’. A nightmare of everyone who is involved in the education of children with ASD is what will happen when these kids become adults. Hope should never die... The specialist autism team at De Montfort University make remarkable efforts to help students with ASD to achieve their potential. A vast respect!
