Triple Intersection of Trauma, Neurodiversity and Gender Diversity: 4 Part Series
 
There is growing evidence that a significant number of individuals on the autism spectrum are transgender or more broadly LGBTQ+. Independently, the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and LGBTQ+ populations are at greater risk for exposure to trauma and adversity. Individuals at the intersection of both of these identities are at greatest risk. This four part series will address the need to attune supports and care for the unique needs of individuals who are both neurodivergent and LGBTQ+. These trainings will provide some tips and suggestions for working with individuals at this intersection.
 
These trainings are open to professionals from any background and skill level. We hope to bring people from various sectors together to discuss ways to support these youth in a variety of settings (school, home, community, mental health, area agencies, residential). In order to provide the best care, we should all have a shared understanding and language that is supportive and inclusive.
