Description

What if treating autism were more like working with trauma and less like learning a foreign language like Behavioral Analysis? That the states in which a person is more or less autistic is governed by where within their window of tolerance they are. Building on the work of Stephen Porges, the developer of Polyvagal theory (PVT), view autism expert Sean Inderbitzen, APSW, MINT, an autistic social worker as he guides you through:

  • Etiology of autism through the lens of a dampened social engagement system
  • Polyvagal Informed Framework of Autism Spectrum Disorder, a hypothesized idea that autism is state specific, not lifelong and enduring
  • How this framework informs modifications for EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Polyvagal theory gives us a basis to understand autism in a way that is modifiable with greater gains in accessing autistic clients’ window of tolerance... resulting in increased creativity, openness, curiosity, cognitive flexibility, and social engagement!
