Discover what’s possible when you nurture passions and talents first.

How can shifting the focus from deficits to strengths impact the way that autistic children view themselves?

If you’re the parent of an autistic child, or you work with children on the spectrum, you’ll want to listen to this throwback episode with Jude Morrow, where he talks about the importance of nurturing strengths. This episode was originally released on June 17, 2021.

Based in Ireland, Jude Morrow is an autism self-advocate, TEDx speaker, and author. He is also the founder of Neurodiversity Training International, an autism mentoring, training, consultancy, and motivational platform. NTI works with non-profit and Fortune 500 companies using a strengths-based approach to change perceptions and attitudes. Jude’s publications include Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad? and Loving Your Place on the Spectrum.

 

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • Autism awareness and acceptance in Ireland
  • What it was like for Jude to grow up feeling that something was wrong with him
  • Accepting his autism as a result of becoming a parent
  • Lessons learned from parenting as an autistic person
