Neurodiversity Education Webinars
Neurodivergent Masking, Individuation and the Spiral of Becoming
Monday 22nd December (2pm-4pm GMT)
Who am I, really?
For many neurodivergent people, identity isn’t something you “return to”… it’s something you’re discovering for the very first time.
This two-hour CPD webinar explores how traditional developmental models often miss the mark for ND individuals, especially when identity has been shaped by masking, external expectations, or chronic invalidation.
We introduce the Spiral of Becoming, a neuroaffirming reframe of Maslow’s hierarchy that recognises the non-linear, layered, and adaptive nature of neurodivergent growth.
You’ll learn:
- How masking and survival adaptation disrupt identity development
- Why self-actualisation is often delayed, not due to failure, but unmet needs
- Tools for supporting individuation in ND teens, adults, or clients
- How to foster belonging, self-trust, and authentic expression
- Why growth looks like looping, and why that’s not a problem
The Pain of Rejection: Understanding Rejection Sensitivity in Neurodivergent Individuals
Recorded Webinar – Lifetime Access
Rejection Sensitivity is a powerful and often misunderstood aspect of neurodivergent experience. Drawing from our own practice and research, this session offers a grounded, compassionate exploration of how rejection sensitivity shows up in everyday life and relationships. Learn what fuels it, how it impacts the nervous system, and what supports regulation and acceptance.
Somatosensory Sex & Intimacy: Understanding Neurodivergent Bodies and Connection
Tuesday 11th November (7pm-9pm GMT)
Live Event – Zoom – Recording Provided
This webinar explores intimacy through a somatosensory and neuroaffirming lens , looking at how sensory perception, body awareness, and communication differences shape our experiences of closeness, pleasure, and consent. We’ll unpack how autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent nervous systems process touch and stimulation differently, and how understanding these differences can transform not only physical intimacy but emotional connection too.
Rather than “fixing” difficulties, we’ll reframe them as differences , exploring how curiosity, sensory literacy, and creative communication can help build safe, fulfilling, and authentic intimacy.
You’ll leave with:
✨ A deeper understanding of neurodivergent sensory processing in sexual and intimate contexts
✨ Insight into interoception, body awareness, and sensory regulation
✨ Tools for communication, consent, and co-regulation that honour neurodivergent needs
✨ Practical strategies for creating connection that feels safe, affirming, and pleasurable
Because when we understand our unique sensory and neurological wiring, intimacy stops being something we “get right” , and becomes something we co-create.
Festive and Frazzled: Making Holidays Work for ND Families

Beyond "School Refusal": Understanding EBSA

What if avoiding school isn’t about defiance, but distress? Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) is often misunderstood, leaving children and families feeling unsupported. In this webinar, we explore EBSA through a trauma-informed, neurodivergent lens. Learn what’s really happening under the surface, and how to advocate for environments that support safety, regulation, and engagement. Ideal for parents, educators, and SEN professionals.

Whether you’re supporting a newly diagnosed child, teaching autistic students, or just beginning your journey of understanding, this webinar offers a vital foundation. We’ll explore what autism is, why it often goes unseen, and how to support neurodivergent people with dignity and insight.

I've Been Diagnosed Autistic - What Next?
Wednesday 23rd March (10am-12pm GMT)
Live Event – Zoom – Recording Provided
An autism diagnosis can be life-changing. Whether it brings relief, grief, insight, or confusion, it opens the door to a deeper understanding of self. In this session, we explore what it means to be autistic—not from a deficit model, but through the lens of potential strengths, needs, and lived experience. We’ll share practical strategies, identity insights, and affirming ways to navigate the world as your authentic self.
