79. Anxiety and Autism w/ Dr Luke Beardon, Senior Lecturer & Supervisor in Autism

<p>It’s time to think and talk about autistic children and adults differently. This week’s guest, the phenomenal autism academic and advocate Dr Luke Beardon, completely rejects the model of autism as a deficit, as a disorder, as individuals with impairments. He defines autism, shares his golden equation for understanding how the environment effects outcomes for autistic people, reveals how autistic people experience anxiety differently, shares valuable insights on how parents and teachers can champion autism-friendly environments in all aspects of their child’s or student’s life and so much more.</p><br><p>Books by Dr Luke Beardon - <a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/author/Luke-Beardon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.bookdepository.com/author/Luke-Beardon</a></p><p>Email - l.beardon@shu.ac.uk</p><h3><br></h3><p><br></p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”</p><br><p>How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.
