IFS Conference
In 2022 I became the first person to present at the Internal Family Systems conference on using the model with autistic clients. It was at this conference where I introduced Autistic Self - the idea that in an autistic system, everyone is autistic. My presentation can be found on the IFS Institute's YouTube channel and has been viewed more than 9,000 times. Click here to watch.
Favorite Books
I am often asked for reading suggestions. Although there are lots available, I have personally not found too many of them to be helpful, which is why Martha Sweezy and I are writing our own. Look out for Embodying Autism: navigating your autistic brain, body and mind, published by New Harbinger. Coming in 2025!
Here are some of the books that have helped me understand myself:
​
Peter Vermeulen - Autism and the Predictive Brain
Jenara Nerenberg - Divergent Mind
Damian Milton - A Mismatch of Salience
Caren Zucker & John Donvan - In a Different Key
Olga Bogdashina - Autism and Spirituality
