What I’ve Learned From Working with Adults on the Spectrum

In 6 years of providing talk therapy to teenagers and adults with Level 1 Autism diagnoses, Michael Pinkerton has learned many things about how to support these individuals in having improved relationships at home, at work, and in school. If you have a loved one (including a partner) who is on the spectrum or has many similar qualities, or if you yourself are on the spectrum, you may benefit from attending this webinar.

Please join Michael Pinkerton, Living Skills Program Director at Integrated Community Services and Marriage and Family Therapist, as he discusses :
– Commonalities and individual differences
– Theory of mind
– Developing relational thinking
– The value of disclosure
– Controlling/choosing/modifying the home and work environment

This webinar provides insights and suggestions that may be helpful for individuals on the spectrum, their families, friends, and romantic partners.

Michael has been a part of Integrated Community Services (ICS) for over 10 years. He is currently the Director of Living Skills services. He has much experience supporting individuals as they make their way in the world. He finds it very satisfying to help people undertake these transitions and see how much they grow from their endeavors. Michael is also a Marriage Family Therapist, working with individuals, couples, and families. His practice has a strong focus on work with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families.

This webinar will provide live Spanish interpretation.
