As a continuation of our TherapyTalks series, paths are pleased to announce our next talk, titled: 'Autism in Adulthood: Coping & Thriving in Life and Work'
Autistic adults often develop unique and creative ways of coping with the challenges of daily life, whether it’s managing sensory experiences, navigating social interactions, or balancing energy and wellbeing. In the workplace, these strategies are just as important, helping to foster focus, resilience, and authentic collaboration.
In this interactive two-hour workshop, we will reflect on and explore the diverse coping strategies autistic adults use. Together, we’ll share insights, celebrate strengths, and discover practical approaches for coping and thriving in adulthood and in professional environments.
The talk is aimed at the general public as well as professionals who wish to learn more about this topic.
