Episode 10 - Understanding Autism
Join Mika Warne, MBACP , qualified counsellor and student psychotherapist In this episode of Understanding Autism, where we explore what autism really is beyond the stereotypes, labels, and misunderstandings. We talk about autism as a spectrum, what that means in everyday life, and why no two autistic people experience the world in the same way.
Whether you’re a parent, carer, professional, or someone wanting to better understand a loved one (or yourself), this episode offers clear, compassionate insight into autistic thinking, communication, sensory experiences, and emotional needs. We’ll also touch on common myths about autism and why listening to lived experience is so important.
In this podcast, I explore a range of counselling topics including anxiety, relationships, grief and bereavement, trauma, self-esteem, stress, and emotional wellbeing. Each episode offers insights and practical support to help you navigate life's challenges and improve your mental health
