Psychosis in Autistic people is too often approached as a malfunction to be corrected; something located inside the person, detached from the world they are trying to survive. This webinar starts somewhere else entirely.

Drawing on the ecosystemic model of distress, David Gray-Hammond makes the case that distress does not originate in an isolated individual but emerges across a whole ecology; the sensory environment, relationships and their ruptures, material conditions, and the accumulated weight of being misread. Understood this way, psychosis in Autistic people becomes legible not as deficit, but as a meaningful response arising within a system under strain.

This is the workshop David presented at the International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis (ISPS) International Congress in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 7 July 2026; now brought to the NeuroHub community.

The session covers

the ecosystemic model of distress, and what it offers beyond individualised accounts;
psychosis in Autistic people viewed through an ecological lens;
what shifts in practice, and in self-understanding, when distress is situated in an ecology rather than a person.

Who it’s for

Autistic adults and neurodivergent people with a stake in how our experiences get framed; mental health professionals, practitioners and trainees; researchers, students, and anyone working at the intersection of autism and mental health.
