How do autistic adults understand and recover from intimate violence and abuse

Description

Join us for a thought-provoking webinar addressing a critical oversight in support services for victim/survivors of intimate violence. Many existing services overlook the unique needs of neurodivergent individuals, resulting in limited access to meaningful support. In this session, we'll be joined by Dr Amy Pearson exploring a project focused on understanding the support and recovery needs of autistic adults who have endured intimate violence and abuse. Sharing insights from this research and discuss practical strategies for organisations to better support survivors and prevent future incidents of intimate violence and abuse. Additionally, we'll introduce a co-produced resource designed to empower survivors.
