Autistic Emotional Regulation:
Working With Your Nervous System
Autistic emotional regulation is often misunderstood and framed through a neurotypical lens that prioritises suppression, behavioural control, or “calming down.” In reality, emotional regulation for autistic people is deeply connected to nervous system safety, sensory processing, energy capacity, and lived experience.
Autistic Emotional Regulation: Working With Your Nervous System offers a validating and practical exploration of how autistic nervous systems respond to stress, sensory input, and relational demands — and how regulation can be supported without shame, pressure, or masking. Grounded in neuroaffirming and trauma-informed perspectives, this webinar reframes emotional responses as meaningful signals rather than problems to be fixed.
Participants will explore how overwhelm, shutdown, meltdowns, anxiety, and emotional intensity arise, and how working with the nervous system — rather than against it — can foster resilience, self-compassion, and sustainable wellbeing. This session is suitable for autistic adults, parents, carers, therapists, educators, and anyone seeking to better understand autistic emotional experiences.
NOTE: This event is INTERACTIVE. This means you will be invited to respond to discussion questions, share your experience, give your opinion, and, of course, ask questions of your own! (all participation is voluntary)
