🎤 Ter gelegenheid van de 600-ste verjaardag van KU Leuven gaf ik een 600-secondenlezing (ok-ok, eerder 666-secondenlezing 😀 ) over hoe autisme zien als uitdrukking van neurodiversiteit een hefboom kan zijn voor verandering in onderzoek en praktijk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WQH...

Why does #psychotherapy (not) work well for autistic people? Can therapy for mental health issues become more #autism adjusted and neuro-affirmative? I'm excited about this much-needed, new interview study with #autistic clients and their psychotherapists! #AutRes #actuallyautistic
