Not Your Cousin's Autism: Missed Autism in the Adult Population (2 Clinical CE)
This course explores atypical Autism, challenging the DSM's conventional ASD model through both scholarly literature and lived experience to explore the interplay of behavior, neurobiology, social influences, and individual differences. Special attention will be given to the populations least likely to receive an autism diagnosis, and participants will explore the consequences of these disparities, leaving with a more inclusive understanding of autism and specific strategies for working ethically and effectively with autistic clients. Presented by: Whitney Storey, MS, LPC, ASDCS.

August 28th | 9:00 am - 11:00 am | Virtual - Zoom
Ambiguous Loss: Social Workers Role in Helping Clients Build Resiliency (2 Clinical CE)
The grief cycle of caregivers is complex, but the unique situation of grieving a person who is still living is especially confusing and disorienting. Whether they are estranged, living with dementia, or any other situation that makes them “there but not there. This presentation will provide guidance for social workers using the theories and research of Dr. Pauline Boss's and other grief experts. Presented by: Gina Rossi, LCSW-BACS,MHSA.
