https://dialogica.uk/the-autism-dialogue-transforming-communication-in-neurodiversity
The Autism Dialogue Approach Handbook serves as both a comprehensive guide and a practical handbook for healthcare professionals, educators, caregivers and anyone engaging with the autism community. ADA is a pioneering framework rooted in healing, neurodiversity ethics, dialogue and mindfulness practices.
The book critiques traditional therapeutic and coaching models, proposing ADA as an alternative that values co-creation and shared meaning-making. It also delves into the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of dialogue, offering insights into how societal structures impact autistic experiences and how systemic change can occur through dialogue.
In this session you will hear a reading, entertaining stories and an interview with the author. You will have the chance to interact with Q&A session and receive a discount for buying the book.

Jonny Drury
Jonathan Drury is founder of the Autism Dialogue Approach. His work advocates for improving neurodivergent lives through the emancipation of language and thinking, using dialogical frameworks and exploration of anti-oppressive practices. With postgraduate studies in Autism and Coaching & Mentoring, he has gone on to train trainers in several major organisations including the NHS, and coached hundreds of individuals from all neurotypes. The Autism Dialogue Approach ultimately aims to reclaim the autos (self), viewing the autism and neurodiversity paradigms as a universal opportunity for the human return to Selfhood.
