The 3 Autism Neuro-States

Unblocking Learning, Communication, and Connection

You love your child/adult on the spectrum. And you say that you want them to be able to learn, communicate, and connect with you and others.

But what if you and all the people seeking to educate them were unwittingly blocking their ability to do so?

When we approach our loved ones in a way that is mismatched to their current neuro-state (which almost everyone does), then we...

Overload their processing systems
Break trust
Make them feel unsafe
Drive their nervous system into fight-or-flight survival mode
Create resistance, dysregulation, anxiety, and disengagement
Block learning, communication, and connection

This mini-workshop is designed to change all of that.

Have you ever wondered…

Why your loved one is sometimes responsive and sometimes not
How to really “reach” them
What the real, underlying reason is for meltdowns, high anxiety, and extreme/explosive behaviors – and how to prevent them
Where stims come from – and how to use them to create connection (rather than seeing them as a problem or obstacle to be stopped or redirected)
Why your child/adult seems to have a particular skill/understanding (a word/name for something, using the toilet, solving a puzzle, ability to socialize or have a conversation) on one day but not another
When the best time is to engage them, play with them, or teach them anything from language to conversation skills, from emotional regulation to social skills, from homework to self-help skills?

Once you understand what your loved one’s three neuro-states are and how to spot them, the answer to these questions becomes clear.

And it’s not just about knowing which brain state they’re in (although that’s pretty awesome). It’s about using this knowledge to completely cater how you interact with them based upon the neuro-state they’re in at that particular moment.

Doing this enables you to:

Interact with your loved one without overwhelming or upsetting them
Enhance your relationship with them
Remove force, coercion, pushing, and pressure from the equation
Help shift them out of fight-or-flight survival mode
Build trust
Strengthen and lengthen their Social Attention Span (which is much more important to their lives, learning, and relationships than their regular attention span)
Reduce anxiety
Increase their ability to be flexible and not need everything to go a particular way
Improve their overall mental health and self-regulation
Enable them to be open and receptive to the things that you and others are endeavoring to teach and show them?

Complete with super clear explanations, useful handouts, and opportunities to begin implementation, this mini-workshop - which comes with lifetime access (as long as the course exists) so you can go back through it again anytime you feel the need to - is taught by neurodivergent autism thought leaders. It will set you on a new path with your loved one on the spectrum – one that honors and respects their autistic experience while enabling them to grow and blossom.

1. Raun K. Kaufman:

Author, lecturer, and former CEO Raun K. Kaufman has worked with families and educators for the past 25 years. He also brings his own experience as someone who himself was diagnosed with so-called “severe” (non-speaking) autism as a child.

An international lecturer and graduate of the Ivy League’s Brown University with a degree in Biomedical Ethics, Raun has completed lecture tours in the U.S., United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Romania, France, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

As a child, Raun was diagnosed with so-called “severe” (non-speaking) autism and recommended for lifelong institutionalization. Instead, his parents worked with him in a totally new way they developed, enabling him to blossom, grow, and, ultimately, accomplish everything his parents were promised he would not. A book and television movie were made about his journey.
