The Autism Reality Experience is an innovative, immersive and hands on training which has been developed to give neurotypical people an opportunity to enter the neurodiverse world and experience the sensory processing difficulties faced by people on the autism spectrum.

Invented by Training 2 CARE’s CEO Glenn Knight and 150 Autistic people, the Autism Reality Experience truly puts the challenges that people with autism experience face into perspective to embed empathy, understanding and inclusive support.

The ‘ARE’ challenges normal thinking and directly confronts you with the profound impact of the environment, communication and much more.  As a delegate, you will feel the impact of:

·       Hypersensitivity to the sensory environment

·       How it feels to become overwhelmed

·       Proprioceptive hyposensitivity

·       Vestibular hypersensitivity

·       Difficulty processing language and instructions

·       Flexibility of thought issues

·       Being in an environment that doesn’t account for your needs

Attendees will be required to complete a medical disclaimer to take part in the experience.. Please note those who are pregnant cannot take part.

The sessions will start promptly at 10:00 and 13:30 please arrive early to allow time for registration. Entry will not be permitted once the session has started.
