Kerryn Burgoyne
CEO/Founder of 6 self-help life courses at KTalk, AustraliaPresentation Title:
Autism & Mental Health – How different individuals are impacted (my story)
Abstract
Statement of the Problem: Women who suffer mental health issues, because of Autism Spectrum Disorder has a significant impact on their lives, especially if they’ve suffered trauma because of the bullying/discrimination/cruel remarks & actions from other people. Autism can impact one's mental health in many ways (childlike behavior), social anxieties or overload. The impact of mental health can also be experienced when the person does not have a good quality of life for themselves (eg employment, independent living skills), or have support from family/friends/society).
I will be discussing how my mental health was impacted, by not being able to gain successful employment for myself but also when I was previously employed in an organisation, I’ll also be discussing some trauma experiences that I’ve had in my life, which has caused me significant pain & suffering but has shaped me the way I am now today! But also some strategies that I’ve developed for myself to assist the recovery and positivity to my overall mental health itself!
