An online support group for Autistic Adults (ages 18 and over).
It’s an opportunity to meet other autistic adults in a casual & welcoming environment, to share experiences, resources, challenges, triumphs, and to lessen feelings of isolation. The group is led by South African Clinical Psychologist Kevin Naidu.
The support group is thoughtfully curated around specific themes, with content that has been researched and developed by the highest level of Professionals. Specializing in the treatment and diagnosis of adult ASD, we design our sessions to meet participants’ needs. Our trained facilitators ensure a safe, supportive, and productive environment.

What is EFT Tapping?
Â
Tapping is a form of psychological acupressure which focuses on tapping on nine specific body points while you focus on an emotion or challenge you want to release. It is a technique that integrates western psychotherapeutic techniques such as saying out loud or to yourself a range of positive/affirmative self statements whilst tapping on certain specific body points. EFT tapping has been shown to reduce levels of stress, cortisol and anxiety in a number of empirical studies.
I will be doing a short demo of how to use tapping to decrease anxiety during the support group

A MESSAGE FROM KEVIN:
No preparation for the group is required. No need to take notes, the ppt slide presentation will be available for group members afterwards. You don’t need to put on your camera unless you want to. You don’t have to speak directly, but you can put your comments, questions or experiences in the chat box and I will read them out and facilitate discussion. The expectation is that the group members will ask questions, share experiences related to self regulation either directly by speaking to the group or by text in the group chat box. Questions on change management are welcome.
