Excellent presentations, maintained my attention. I actually didn't realize that some might have considered "autism" and "neurodiversity" mutually exclusive. Clearly I did not have a solid understanding of how the term neurodiversity was used - I had thought it a form of acceptance and appreciation for the differences associated with autism.

The presenter provides a good overview of the history of Autism and how the term and research has changed over the years. She does a good job of showing how the medical model and the neurodiversity paradigm do not need to compete. Both can support services aimed at improving the quality of life, health and wellness of autistic individuals.

I was disappointed that more time wasn't spent on the stated topic. It was clear to me that the presenter was extremely knowledgable about this topic and could have easily spent all of the allotted time on neurodiversity. For an advanced course there was too much time spent on history and definitions of ASD.

Finally, a presentation about this topic that doesn't make me feel like a villain and that as professionals we evolve. This was incredibly informative and helpful. I'm actually excited about presenting this topic not just to colleagues but to parents as well because it provides a much bigger picture about how these models don't have to be exclusive.

I prefer a video of someone actually speaking. Information was helpful but was just an overview...I think a deeper dive would be helpful, especially for those of us actually treating these children. Also, differentiation of "autistic adults" who can actually fill out surveys and care about how they are referred to in the world and the groups many of us are serving of nonverbal autistic children with limited function, is vital!

I completed this course right after viewing "The Neurodiversity Movement" by Julie Roberts. It was like day and night. Dr. Treadwell-Deering presented the information in a way that reflected the complexity of Autism and that opened the door for a merging of the medical and social models, perhaps through the biospychosocial model. This is the first treatment of neurodiversity that I've seen or read that really caputres the complexity of the issue. THANK YOU for this presentation.

Knowledgable presenter
by

I felt that the history of the disorder was very good. However, because it was not directly speaking to speech/language, OT, or even PT professionals, there was not much information given regarding current (GENZ and post-2020) viewpoints. Our "young" clients of today are very vocal about their experiences with the autism paradigms and treatments their parents had them experience; they also have their own viewpoints on how they socialize and function in the workplace.
