... and the role of memories on our perception of "threat", of danger.
Love Naomi Fisher's description: Once you've encountered a lion, your subconscious can be triggered by a lion-shaped rock, or someone with yellow hair, for example. And triggered.

Rounding off the National Autistic Society professionals conference with a fascinating overview of a trauma-informed approach. The role of the fight or flight mechanism. The things our brains perceive as threatening. By Dr Naomi Fisher

"I see high levels of shame and self-criticism in autistic people" says clinical psychologist Dr Alice Nicholls at the NAS annual Professionals Conference
#ProfConf24
So, listening to Dr Alice Nichols talking about:

This is a complex and fascinating topic, that gets right to the core of autism.

A fantastic compassionate presentation by @rebeccaduffus on autism identity , defiantly going to be following up with her book https://t.co/DXPknAuKPN #ProfConf24
Paul Micallef explains that by unmasking, by being their authentic selves, autistic people can reduce their executive function load. Basically because they don't have to find all the solutions by themself
It reduces stress and anxiety, so helps decision making
