This syllabus introduces the AUTISTIC framework, a model that explores the unique experiences of Neurodivergent (ND) individuals and their distinct subculture. It highlights how ND individuals often share a deeper mutual understanding across national and ethnic lines than with Neurotypical (NT) individuals from their own backgrounds. The course challenges outdated stereotypes that contribute to inadequate accommodations in employment, healthcare, and education, fostering more respectful and informed engagement.

The introductory course lays the foundation for understanding Neurodivergence, followed by eight in-depth modules that examine key aspects of the ND experience. These modules cover topics such as identity, communication, societal perceptions, workplace inclusion, healthcare accessibility, educational support, and advocacy. Through this structured approach, participants will gain valuable insights into the challenges and strengths of ND individuals, promoting meaningful inclusion and allyship.

  • AUTISTIC: Understanding the Neurodivergent Mind From First Principles is a unique learning framework developed by Dr. Liliya Wheatcraft.

  • AUTISTIC combines evidence-based neuroscience and lived AuDHD experience so as to offer you a knowledge schema that will enable you to develop comprehensive understanding of neurodiversity in general as well as the specific neurodivergence profile.

  • Yes, but the difference of AUTISTIC is that I ensured that each module and each lived experience phenomenon included in the course is viewed & understood through the lens of neuroscience evidence.

  • This resource isn't just a theoretical overview; it also has practical application. By merging robust, evidence-based neuroscience with lived AuDHD experience, it provides a framework that empowers you to gain a comprehensive understanding of neurodiversity and the specific profiles of neurodivergence.
