What is ACT and how can it support individuals with Autism?

ACT is recognised by the National Institute of Health- National Registry of evidence-based practices and is supported by over 300 peer-review journal articles.

In simple terms, ACT tells us to “Live a rich, full, meaningful life with less struggle.”

ACT suggests that we should avoid using or teaching strategies that attempt to suppress, control or eliminate negative thoughts. Instead, ACT teaches us to practice accepting these negative thoughts and feelings and suggests alternative ways of interacting with them.
