🎤 Ter gelegenheid van de 600-ste verjaardag van KU Leuven gaf ik een 600-secondenlezing (ok-ok, eerder 666-secondenlezing 😀 ) over hoe autisme zien als uitdrukking van neurodiversiteit een hefboom kan zijn voor verandering in onderzoek en praktijk.

Why does #psychotherapy (not) work well for autistic people? Can therapy for mental health issues become more #autism adjusted and neuro-affirmative?

I'm excited about this much-needed, new interview study with #autistic clients and their psychotherapists!

Are you an autistic adult who is or has been in psychotherapy? Or, are you a therapist who works with autistic adults?
Take part in this interview study and help us better adjust psychotherapy for the autistic population.
