I'm Dr. Naomi Fisher, I'm a clinical psychologist, and I specialize in autism, trauma, and alternatives in school, alternative ways to learn, and I've written two books about that.
One of the things I noticed very quickly when I had my own children, and probably you've noticed too, is that screens are really one of the bogeymen of our age.
They're one of the things that parents in particular are really scared of, and they're also something which you're surrounded with messages about, about how you should be behaving as a good parent around screens.
Yet the harder parents try to put limits in place, the more determined their children are to hold on. It can easily become a family flashpoint.
In this course I talk about the screen time paradox. I will describe the attraction that autistic children have for screens, and how parents may be inadvertently making the situation worse. I talk about why screens are important for many autistic children, and how parents can help them to develop a healthy long term relationship with technology. I discuss how you know when things are going wrong, and when to step in.

Many autistic children are anxious. Dr Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist, will help you understand some of the reasons and will show you some ways you might be able to support your child.

Why are so many autistic teenagers anxious - and what can parents do to help? Gain understanding, insight and practical tips in this mini-course by Dr Naomi Fisher.
Living with your autistic child is like walking on eggshells. They sleep badly, they cling to you and they have extreme reactions to seemingly small events. They are very scared of particular things, and you aren't really sure why. Naomi will explain how trauma affects the brain - and why understanding trauma in autism requires us to look beyond major traumatic events to understand the person's individual experience.
Some children and young people seem to withdraw from life. Their anxiety becomes so severe that anything which might have helped seemed to make things worse. They may find it hard to come out of the bedrooms or to leave the house. Parents are left not knowing what to do next. In this mini-course, Naomi will help you to think about severe anxiety through the lens of the nervous system. She’ll give you some practical ideas to help your child even if they don’t want to talk about how they are feeling.
