3. Apply trauma-informed therapeutic support to autistic clients who have experienced misdiagnosis.

This is an intermediate-level course for psychologists, social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, and any other mental health professional who provides therapy or diagnostic assessment services to autistic clients.
