Understanding
autism and physical health
A live session on Zoom worth CPD hours, for professionals supporting autistic people with physical health conditions. How pain, hypermobility, digestive and other needs get overlooked, and what leads to joined-up care.
Your certificate is issued in your name after a short post-session quiz.
A live session built around practical understanding, questions and strategies for your setting.
Professionals, families and neurodivergent people together. Never recorded, so people speak openly about what works.
Autistic people are more likely to live with physical health conditions - from chronic pain and hypermobility to digestive and reproductive disorders. What often goes alongside autism, and what helps. No diagnosis, referral, or background knowledge needed.
Join from your sofa, listen in your own way, ask questions by chat - or just listen.
No referral, no paperwork, no waiting list. If unexplained health struggles keep piling up in your house, you belong here.
We offer low-cost tickets, extensive free resources and a limited number of fully-funded tickets.
Sound familiar?
If any of these sound like your caseload, the session is right for you.
“The person has multiple symptoms, but each service is treating one part and nobody is joining them up.”
“Pain, fatigue or digestive distress is being written off as anxiety or behaviour.”
“I need to recognise when physical health needs and autistic communication differences are colliding.”
“Families say something is wrong long before a pathway catches up, and I want to know how to respond better.”
The behaviour or presentation is telling you something. There are real answers.
Written for anyone supporting someone with autism and physical health conditions.
If this turns up in your caseload, your classroom or your service, this is for you. Among others, we regularly train:
Health care
Nurses, GPs, paediatricians, OTs, SLTs, psychologists, psychiatrists, CAMHS and crisis teams, health visitors.
Social care
Social workers, support workers, residential and supported living staff, early help, safeguarding leads, commissioners.
Education
Teachers, SENCOs, teaching assistants, pastoral staff, inclusion leads, alternative provision and educational psychologists.
And beyond
Employers, managers, youth and community services, police, custody staff and charities.
Not an exhaustive list. No diagnosis, referral or background knowledge needed.
Sound familiar?
If any of these feel like your week, this session was made for you.
“My child always seems to be unwell - stomach aches, pain, exhaustion - and we never get a full answer.”
“I want a brief overview of the different physical health conditions that come with autism.”
“I'm autistic myself and I've collected diagnoses for years - I want to understand how they connect.”
“I work in health or care and I want to understand the physical conditions that so often travel with autism.”
It isn't hypochondria or attention-seeking, and it isn't your fault. There are real answers.

Two hours that make sense of autism and physical health
Autistic people are more likely to experience physical health conditions - and most of our team live with one or more themselves, so we've poured our collective knowledge into this session. Here's what we cover.
Pain
Chronic pain in autistic people - why it's common, and why it so often goes unrecognised.
Hypermobility and hEDS
The strong link between autism and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).
Reproductive disorders
The reproductive health conditions that disproportionately affect autistic people.
Digestive health
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and gut health in autism.
Epilepsy and more
Other co-occurring conditions to know about - and how to advocate for joined-up care.
Live on Zoom, cameras optional
This session is never recorded, so people ask what they actually need to ask - and that's exactly why it's worth coming.
What your ticket actually buys.
Most training sells you a seat in a room. This is a live conversation, a CPD record and practical resources you can use after the session.
The live session
Two-hour live session on Zoom with the chat open. Because we never record it, people speak freely about autism and physical health from lived, family and professional perspectives. That is the part no recording can give you.
CPD hours and your certificate
The session is worth CPD hours. Your certificate is issued in your name after a short post-session quiz, with the hours stated for your appraisal or revalidation record.
The full on-demand course
Separately produced content, not a recording of your session. A clickable course with the material, resources and references built in, plus pre-recorded lived and professional contributions.
Bonus content that keeps growing
Additional recorded segments, handouts and resources that go well beyond what the live session covers. We add new material as we produce it and your access does not expire.

Three tickets. One aim.
Nobody should be priced out of understanding their own or their child's neurodiversity. Family tickets are partially funded by us and every session has a limited number of fully funded tickets for those in hardship.
For families, one ticket covers everyone.
Parents, carers, and neurodivergent people.
Includes CPD certificate - one ticket per person.
- on-demand access for when course is complete
Unemployed or in hardship. Limited Availability.
Funding every free place this month.
Two ways to book it.
Take a place on a monthly open session, or commission the session privately for your service. Both carry the live delivery, the full on-demand course, the growing bonus professional-specific content and CPD certificates.
The whole team session is an hour longer, with far more strategies and conversations specific to your setting discussed. This still includes all the bonus material, which further doubles the content available on demand after the live session.
One ticket per person, with your own CPD record.

Questions people ask us.
We try to be upfront about how our sessions work. Here is everything you probably want to know before you book.
Where do the sessions take place?
All our open-access webinars run live on Zoom. You do not need a Zoom account - just a link, which arrives by email after booking.
These are not passive sessions. Throughout the session:
- The chat is open the entire time
- We read your comments and questions as they come in
- We mention attendees by name and bring your perspectives into the session
- You are treated as a second voice in the room - not an audience
The chat is deleted at the end of every session. What happens in the session stays in the session.
Who comes to these sessions?
Roughly:
- Two-thirds are parents and carers here for their children
- Around one-third are neurodivergent people here for themselves
- A smaller number are professionals
Whoever you are, you will be in the right place. The sessions are written to be useful across all three groups. Because of who attends, the conversations in the chat are personal - people share things about their children, their own experiences, their struggles. That is part of what makes these sessions valuable.
Who creates and delivers these sessions?
Every session is built by our team together - not one person working alone. Each topic draws on:
- Multiple neurodivergent specialists with lived experience
- Frontline practice and peer-reviewed research
- Refinement through delivery to tens of thousands of people
Do I get a recording?
You will receive on-demand access an hour after the session. This contains a pre-recorded version.
We do not live record. The reason is straightforward: the sessions are personal. The chat is open, people share things about themselves and their families, and attendees are named and included throughout. Recording that would not be right.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, if you cancel at least 14 days before the session. Under 14 days, we cannot offer refunds. Here is why:
- We run these sessions as cheaply as possible because they are a community good
- By the time you cancel close to the date, we have already spent money on advertising to reach you
- Refunding under 14 days means we absorb both the payment processor fees and the advertising cost
- Around 30% of people who book do not turn up or cancel - often due to last-minute childcare needs. As parents and carers ourselves, we understand. However, if we refunded everyone or moved them on to a different session, we simply could not keep running our sessions
Do I get the slides?
You get them after the session via our on-demand platform. You will be sent the login details an hour after the session ends. This is more than a slide deck - it is a clickable web page with resources and links built in, which you can click through directly.
Can I bring an AI note-taker?
No. For the same reason we do not record: the people in the session have not consented to being captured by a third-party tool. The chat is personal and the session is just between us.
You will get access to the on-demand version an hour after the session has ended if you need something to refer back to.
Are there free tickets?
If you are unemployed, or in hardship we offer a limited number of funded tickets. We do not ask for evidence - just select the funded ticket option when booking, as long as spaces are available.
- All funded tickets will be available only through our website
- We offer over 2,000 funded tickets a year
These are paid for by us and our paying customers. They are limited because live training costs money to deliver. Sadly we can't offer out more.
Can I bring my whole team on one ticket?
Family and individual tickets: yes - the whole family can join on one ticket. Our mission is to help neurodivergent people, so we price these sessions as accessibly as possible.
Professional tickets: no. Each professional attendee needs their own ticket and receives one on-demand access with one certificate worth CPD hours.
How do I get my certificate?
Certificates are generated by you completing your post-session certification quiz via our on-demand platform. You will get access to this an hour after the session ends if you booked a live session or immediately if you booked on-demand.
I missed a session I really wanted. Will it run again?
Most popular topics run at least once a month, sometimes twice. A handful of topics currently run only a few times a year, so it is worth checking back regularly.
- The quickest way to find out about a session is to join our mailing list - there is a link at the bottom of the page
- If a topic is available on demand, you will find it in our e-learning
I love your sessions. How can I help?
Tell people. Genuinely - word of mouth is the most valuable thing you can do. Share the link, tell a friend, mention us in a group. We run free sessions regularly too, so share those when they come up.
Everything we do is built to help as many people as possible. The more people who know about us, the more people we can reach.
I really want to join your team. How do I do that?
We get a lot of these, including from people wanting to volunteer. Being honest: it takes a lot to support someone to deliver in our style, so we are selective. You are likely a fit if you have:
- Professional experience in these spaces - not just lived experience (we have plenty of that)
- A track record of delivering training, in person and online
- A social delivery style - talking with people, not at them
Right now we have specific gaps we would love help with:
- Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Tourette's - we have plenty of lived experience but need someone with professional experience supporting people in workplaces and schools
- Neurodiversity and race - a big gap
- Leadership - people who work or have worked in leadership. We do a lot of work supporting managers, and we also deliver neurodiversity in the workplace training
Please be aware that we receive a lot of enquiries about working for us. We cannot respond to them all - we cannot respond to most of them. If you would like to get in touch anyway, please use our contact form.
Can my organisation sponsor your sessions?
Yes. Corporate sponsorship allows us to offer more completely free webinars to those that need them. If you want to partner with us and fund free places - or fully fund a session - for the public good, get in contact.
In return, you will be announced across our social media channels, newsletter, website, and within the sessions themselves. Your logo will be placed on the front of the slide deck for that session, and on this page , so every attendee knows your organisation made it possible. You will also receive our PR kit so you can shout about it too, and you will be listed on our website as an official partner. Your funding directly removes barriers for neurodivergent individuals, families, and the many healthcare and social care professionals who attend our webinars.
To discuss sponsorship, please contact us.
Questions people ask us.
We are upfront about how our sessions work. Here is what you and your service will want to know before booking.

- You are treated as a second voice in the room - not an audience
The chat is deleted at the end of every session. What happens in the session stays in the session.
Who comes to these sessions?
Deliberately mixed. In the same session you will find:
- Professionals across health, social care and education
- Parents and carers supporting their children
- Neurodivergent adults here for themselves
That mix is the point. You are not only hearing from trainers and other practitioners, you are hearing from the people your work is about - what helped, what made things worse, and what they wish professionals had understood sooner. Because the session is never recorded, people speak openly. The chat is deleted at the end.
Who creates and delivers these sessions?
Every session is built by our team together - not one person working alone. Each topic draws on:
- Multiple neurodivergent specialists with lived experience
- Frontline practice and peer-reviewed research
- Refinement through delivery to tens of thousands of people

Can my employer be invoiced?
Yes, but only in limited cases. We only allow invoicing when booking for more than 15 people, or when booking a whole team session. Everything else is paid by card at the point of booking.
Can I bring my whole team on one ticket?
No. Each attendee needs their own ticket, because each ticket carries one on-demand access and one certificate issued in that person's name.
If you want to train a group, book a whole team session instead. That is a longer private session built around your service, and every attendee gets their own certificate and on-demand access.
How do I get my certificate?
Certificates are generated by you completing your post-session certification quiz via our on-demand platform. You will get access to this an hour after the session ends if you booked a live session or immediately if you booked on-demand.

Not quite the right topic?
Our Mission. Our Values. Our Model.
Neurodivergent people deserve to live independently, do work we enjoy, and never be defined by what others think we cannot do.
We train people, workplaces, health professionals, and families to make that possible - not through ongoing support but through real understanding that changes how people think and act permanently.
We Give Value First
We start with the people who need it most and give. Free resources, information, content, and tickets - before anyone spends a penny.
The Strategies Work
Real strategies delivered with honest candour - useful the next day, not forgotten by Friday. That changes things for the people around them.
Results Create Advocates
Impactful strategies that work because they come from lived experience. The people we train recommend us to colleagues and leadership.
Organisations Bring Us In
Our character has already been proven. That trust means organisations book us. Real impact, real change, and funds to give more.
Why we do this
Everything we say comes from being there. We have navigated the same systems, faced the same barriers, and been misread, overlooked, or managed rather than supported. So our training is not adapted from generic content - it is built by us, from the inside out.
Whatever brought you here, we are glad you found us.
Pick your dateNeed training for your whole team?
We deliver private sessions for organisations.
Sessions are delivered by neurodivergent specialists with lived and professional experience. Every booking includes full tailoring to your team, post-session support, and an implementation pack. You also get included visibility as an organisation doing the right thing in this space.
