About this listen

A vital new framework for working with clients on the spectrum.

By presenting the autism diagnosis through the lens of a disordered nervous system-that is, by applying Polyvagal Theory-this book opens new avenues for intervention and treatment, while challenging age-old assumptions of what autism means and how it presents itself.

Here, Sean Inderbitzen-a therapist as well as someone living with autism-encourages clinicians to conceptualize their autistic clients' difficulties with social interactions and cognitive flexibility through a polyvagal lens. Inderbitzen argues that individuals with autism can be thought of as having deficits in accessing their ventral vagal nervous system-the system which promotes flexibility and connection to others. The book explores strategies to address these challenges through familiar tools such as motivational interviewing, clinical social work pedagogy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, mindfulness, biofeedback, and cultivating a sense of safety. Autism in Polyvagal Terms is an essential new text for anyone who works with individuals on the autism spectrum.

Think the voice has been chosen due to being a deep RP narrator style but the lack of tone or feeling makes it sound like a bad AI voice. It makes it impossible to listen to and take in what is being said as it feels like the voice doesn't understand what it's reading or change tone to add any interest. Will buy a physical copy instead but a shame for those who can only access audio books

Sadly have to return due to lack of tone in voice
