Program Description:

In a prior brief course, Sandra interviewed Sherri Paulson (no relation), the latter being a pioneer in the EMDR field regarding modifications needed for working with individuals on the autism spectrum, with emphasis on significant levels of autism (Paulson, 2022; Paulsen & Paulson, 2023). In this workshop, Dr Paulsen addresses primarily the challenges of discerning and supporting so-called “high functioning autistic” (HFA) individuals, many of whom are also gifted. The label of HFA and the field of autism itself are fraught with controversy and conflict between proponents and detractors. Many of these problematic terms are described in this workshop and put in the context of theories of autism and/or the phenomenology of autism. The course is intended to help EMDR clinicians become aware of the existence and experience of autistic individuals who are frequently carrying significant trauma histories, who may also be dissociative (Reuben, 2021), and who may habitually mask their autism as a survival strategy. The course reviews modifications to consider for the eight phases of EMDR.

Dr. Paulsen has released a book containing original cartoons and worksheets, which help facilitate quick telegraphing of complex psychological concepts related to this topic. You can find this companion book "The Beauty and Burden of Autism: Illustrated Guide and Workbook" here: Full Color Edition ⎜ Black-and-White Edition

Goals & Objectives:

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

1. Define six commonly used terms to describe phenomena associated with autism.
2. Describe four ways that autistic nervous systems often function differently than neurotypical brains.
3. List six modifications to EMDR that are often needed for autistic individuals.
