Kieran's flagship training

Most online autism training is stereotypical, wrapped up in non-Autistic behavioural-based perspectives and incredibly deficit focused and ultimately useless. It doesn't have any meaning.

The Inside of Autism is an autism training which strips back those stereotypes, provides insight from multiple Autistic perspectives, is grounded in up-to-date research; and shifts from a centred non-Autistic viewpoint to an Autistic one. 

Over 3,500 students worldwide have taken The Inside of Autism

After this training you will be in a place where you're able to think critically, and positively, about Autism and what it means to be Autistic.

The Inside of Autism is a fully online autism training which gives you access to 8 hours+ of training, the workbook and a selection of resources.

The training will make you sit uncomfortably at first (especially if you are a professional) and is very much designed to challenge you and your current perceptions of the Autism narrative.

It covers six topics which form one complete narrative arc which, when completed, will leave you in a place where you're able to think critically, and positively, about Autism and what it means to be Autistic.

It is an on-demand training for you to study at your own pace and return back to as you need.

These comments are all from students of The Inside of Autism and we're grateful for each and every one. 

"As a volunteer with SENDIASS I would love all SENCos to complete this course."

"This was the most valuable, emotionally-enlightening course I have EVER participated in!"

"Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and lived experiences with us. I greatly appreciate it as it helps me to become a better human, mother, and therapist."

"I’m even more proudly autistic after attending the course."

"This course allowed my hunger to be awoken, to want to work with other like-minded professionals to look differently at health care, and encouraging me to want to improve my own specialist service for every individual who comes to use it, to make their experience better."

"The explanation around stigma, trauma, invalidation, masking and mental health was powerfully described and reinforced the need to address how we speak about, understand, support autistic children/young people as clinicians"

"It was just brilliant. You taught me so much about my son in an hour; more than anyone in 8 years has."

"I’m even more proudly autistic after attending the course."

"I felt respected and seen and proud of the life I was providing for my son within our neurodivergent family."

"My mind was truly blown by all the knowledge from Kieran and I don't believe that even years down the line, with my own research, would I ever have learnt so much."

"I just wanted to express my gratitude to the whole team for putting together such an instructive, comprehensive, and grounded overview of autism"

"And the additional resources! There is so much there for me to go away and 'monotrope' with. Thank you!"

"This training has created a profound shift in my understanding both personally and professionally. As a trauma-informed, neurotypical therapist who supports neurodivergent clients, I have and will continue to work hard to check my blind spots and learn to better fulfill my values of being anti-oppressive, strength-based and collaborative in my work. The blind spot I've had thanks to my previous learning rooted in deficit-focused Autism research (not done by Autistic researchers) was alarmingly big, but thankfully is shrinking thanks to this training and connections with Autistic voices I will continue to nurture. I am grateful and humbled by the work accomplished by the presenters and during this training. This is helping me be a better human, not just a therapist, so thank you."

"It's an amazing course with lots practical resources as well as being extremely validating, more than I could have imagined to be honest."

"The Inside of Autism taught me to open my mind, open my heart, listen to my senses, listen to other people's experiences (in whichever way they communicate them, not just to mouth words) with respect and validation in mind; it taught me to think critically and constructively; and it taught me to carefully select the experts by experience who have put oodles and more oodles of thought and effort into what they know and believe, who are the people I most want to be listening to, who have most skilfully and generously shared their wisdom and in so doing they have made this world a better and safer place for many people including me and my family - thank you. Thank you for making a lifelong positive difference to me and my family."

"This was the best training I have ever taken on autism and supporting autistic people -- and I've been to a lot in the last 6 years. Being accessible and affordable was a plus. Kieran hones in on the topics that really matter and that no other training is even mentioning - the problems with diagnostic criteria, monotropism, double empathy, burnout, masking. This course should be what is recommended to parents, teachers, and mental health professionals."

Most Autism training is stereotyped, generic and behaviouralist; and fails to incorporate the insight and wealth of knowledge that exists within the worldwide Autistic community, which research is now only beginning to wake up to.

This course is designed not as Autism training, but as a challenging and stark reframing of your understanding of Autistic people, young and old, against the backdrop of a narrative that pathologises, dehumanises and stigmatises us.

If you are a Professional the course will challenge your confirmation bias and push you to removing your focus from 'autism', to refocus on Autistic *people* allowing you to reconceptualise the way you identify, work with and support Autistic people in an informed way, whether those are Autistic children or adults; and truly humanising Autistic people in the process. Previous attendees include Autistic and non-Autistic people: Parents, Teachers and Teaching Assistants, Academics, Nurses, Doctors, clinical and research Psychologists, Psychiatrists, CAMHS and CYPS workers, MH professionals, SLTs, OTs, Local Authority workers and a whole lot more.

If you are a parent or carer the course is designed to give you insight from the perspective of your loved-one, reframing your understanding of their behaviours and needs; and empowering you to listen to your gut and be able to advocate for them from a place of strength; enabling you to enable them to have autonomy and authenticity.

If you are Autistic the course is designed to validate your experience, help define and name those experiences in a shared and relatable way; and centre the voice of Autistic people as the centre of knowledge about autism.
