FABIC Poster Collection Discussion Groups – Session 19 – Common Challenges ASD

Presented by Tanya R Curtis, Senior Behaviour Specialist
Location: Online (Worldwide)

Thursday 15 August 2024 – 6:00pm – 6:50pm AEST (QLD Time)

Poster 31: Common challenges for a person with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
Poster 32: Autism Spectrum Disorder – Life lessons

Tanya Curtis is well-known and highly regarded for her work with autism, and she will always maintain that a person is not their behaviour and that skills must not be expected but need to be taught.

These two posters detail the common challenges and life lessons for a person with an ASD, and while they do not apply to everybody on the spectrum, they provide more opportunities to learn new skills and gain self-mastery over what was might once have been perceived as difficult or even impossible.
