David Gray-Hammond cross-posted a post from DGH Neurodivergent Consultancy David Gray-HammondDec 18 · David Gray-Hammond I have been building this framework for years, I am hoping it may be helpful to people. This reflects how I conduct my professional work on a day to day basis. Supporting Autistic People A 6-Point Framework David Gray-Hammond Dec 18   READ IN APP   It’s easy for me to forget how long I have been an active member of the Autistic community. Years blend together, meaning that I lose sight of the 8 years I have spent growing my experience and knowledge in what the wider world would reductively call “autism support”. I talk a lot about neurodivergence competence and how neuro-affirming approaches are not enough. And so, i felt it was time to summarise what neurodivergence competence means with regard to supporting Autistic people. The framework can be summarised as follows: Understanding Autistic Experience Sensory & Emotional Worlds Autistic Burnout & Capacity Identity & Neurodivergence Safety, Trauma & Environment Learning From Autistic Community These six foundations form the core of how I support the Autistic people I work with, and I felt it was time to share them more widely.
