Although the mental health system is intended to help and support our autistic clients, it has historically been a source of trauma for autistic people. In fact, autistic individuals who received treatment that is considered “gold standard” are twice as likely to develop PTSD compared to autistics who did not receive this treatment. Clearly, we need system-level changes to ensure we provide appropriate support to our autistic clients.
It’s imperative that you join Dr. Amy Marschall, psychologist, author, and autistic adult, as she teaches you:
How autistic individuals experience trauma, both within our society and in the mental health system
Actionable changes you can make to your own practice to be neurodiversity-affirming, collaborating with your clients to get them the support they need!
Together, let's pave the way for a more inclusive and compassionate mental health landscape. Register now!
The Prevalence of Trauma Among Autistic Clients
Systemic Harms: How the Mental Health System Has Contributed to Autistic Trauma
What Do We Need to Do Differently?
Amy Marschall, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist in South Dakota, working primarily with children and adolescents. She is trained in trauma-informed care as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, and in 2017 became certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. In her clinical practice, Dr. Marschall works with survivors of abuse, families in the foster care system, children with incarcerated parents, clients dealing with high-conflict divorce or separation, and those growing up with other chronic stressors and traumas.
Dr. Marschall was diagnosed in adulthood as AuDHD (Autistic and ADHD), which informs her deeply empathetic and lived understanding of neurodivergence.
She is also the author of three professional resources: A Clinician’s Guide to Supporting Autistic Clients, Telemental Health with Kids Toolbox, and Telemental Health with Kids Toolbox, Volume 2. These publications reflect her commitment to providing accessible, neurodiversity-affirming, and trauma-informed tools for clinicians working with children and adolescents in both in-person and virtual settings.
