| Abstract: | There is a wealth of autobiographical material produced by people who describe themselves as experiencing autistic spectrum disorders. Increasingly, these writers and academics are suggesting that professionals should be using this material to help develop understanding. This paper describes a small scale, qualitative research project that explored ways in which video- and audio-autobiographical material could be used by EPs with teaching professionals. It suggests that a collaborative, conversation-based approach to the material can help develop understanding, empathy and lead to practical teaching and learning outcomes. |
