dc.description.abstractThis capstone paper examines how school counsellors can provide support to autistic school-aged children and youth by adapting and modifying the counselling skills they already have from an individual and social model perspective. Low therapist confidence and self-perceived knowledge, as well as limited knowledge about ASD, can result in a lack of understanding of how to adapt counselling skills when working with autistic students (Gallant et al., 2022). The literature review examines the challenges and barriers that autistic students face in school communities, as well as ASD and comorbidity rates in schools. Through the lens of neurodiversity, this paper looks at how the social model can help us to recognize barriers that make it harder for autistic students in schools, as well as challenges our worldviews by using the Double Empathy Study. Through current research and listening to the voices of the autistic community, the goal of this paper is to provide school counsellors with a comprehensive list of ways that they can provide support to autistic school-aged children and youth by adapting and modifying the counselling skills they already have from an individual and social model perspective.
