How to Use Your Autism Super Powers

A one-day workshopjoe-crossed-bw-small
Saturday, October 8th, 2016, 10am-5pm

You’re a sensitive feeler. You’re a fast thinker. You’re extraordinarily gifted in certain areas.

You were told you have a “disability.” You were excluded or outcast. You’ve felt overwhelmed, confused, or isolated.

Like all super heroes, your power can often feel like a burden. You sometimes feel like a “freak” and long to be “normal.”

You are not alone. You are not broken. You have exceptional abilities that need only to be awakened.

I know. I’ve been there. And I discovered the mindset and tools I needed to create the relationships, career, and community that most people only dream of. I use my extreme sensitivity to deepen my romantic partnership and friendships. I use my fast mind to succeed in business. I use my creative gifts to improve the world and change people’s lives.

In this engaging workshop, we’ll use facilitated discussion and exercises to explore:
  • The truth that you are gifted and not broken
  • Your unique talents and how they relate to autism
  • How to relate with the non-Aspie world
  • Mindfulness practice
  • Body awareness methods
  • Communication skills
  • How to receive and transmit emotion and energy

Note that this workshop will be highly interactive with lots of exercises and movement. Like most Aspies, I don’t like sitting still for long periods of time!

Welcome to Xavier’s School for the Gifted. Embrace your Aspie Power.

This workshop is open to adults with autism that are verbal and live independently (no formal diagnosis required). It is limited to 15 participants and is by application only. Complete the form below and then I will contact you to schedule a phone interview.
