Synopsis

Recovery and survival following sexual violence are unique to each individual. Neurodiversity, Autism and Recovery from Sexual Violence provides an invaluable resource for those supporting autistic and neurodivergent women to take steps towards regaining control of their life. Written from the author's lived experience and expertise, it offers a wealth of accessible guidance and practical activities that focus on making sense of events and taking time to do so. Above all, it encourages practitioners to work respectfully with clients in the context of their experiences and evolving situations.

The resource provides a clear framework to explore the full range of issues arising from sexual violence including identity, goal setting, safety, mental and physical well-being, managing emotions, friendships, relationships and disclosure, memory, concentration and sensory experiences. It includes printable resource sheets and details of available supports to introduce to individuals or groups. Whilst primarily targeting neurodivergent and autistic women survivors, it can be adapted by others to suit their requirements.

À propos de l'auteur

SUSY RIDOUT is an author, mentor, associate lecturer and independent researcher working in the field of autism, neurodiversity and sexual violence. As a neurodivergent victim-survivor of sexual violence, she has combined this insider experience with the knowledge and skills she has developed over a decade of mentoring in HE institutions to produce the material presented in this book. Her doctoral study focused on ways to bring the autistic voice to the fore in research, services and resources impacting on them. Susy has turned this to her advantage to make sense of her own experience, and this has resulted in national and international conference presentations.
