Autism in a Nutshell

Autism in a Nutshell – 2‑Hour Training run by Enfold

A practical, accessible introduction to understanding Autism, designed to help youth organisations create genuinely inclusive environments.

What this session covers:

• Social communication and interaction differences
• Sensory processing and the 8‑sense profile
• Behaviour through the Autism lens: fight, flight, freeze, flop & fawn
• How environment shapes outcomes for autistic people
• Inclusion, accessibility and removing barriers
• Practical strategies you can use immediately in youth settings

Who it’s for: 

Youth workers, volunteers, leaders and anyone supporting autistic or neurodivergent young people.

Why it matters: 

Autistic young people thrive when understood, accepted and supported in ways that suit their needs. This training gives you the confidence and tools to make that happen.
