Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Understanding Autistic Flow with Dr Brett Heasman
Q: Would you have any ideas around how educators might understand flow and then support flow in a healthy way with their students?
Educators should create an environment that allows students to switch between spontaneous and cultivated pathways to flow to sustain energy and interest.
Understanding Autistic Flow with Dr Brett Heasman
Q: Are there specific conditions that allow flow states to happen more easily?
Certainly! Preconditions that may help include high feedback and balance between skills and task demands, but the dynamic nature of flow complicates predictability.
Understanding Autistic Flow with Dr Brett Heasman
Q: How does flow specifically sit with our understanding of autistic experience?
Flow is a term that's been used by autistic people for a long time and is part of their common language, but the same qualities are seen as strengths in flow literature.
Understanding Autistic Flow with Dr Brett Heasman
Q: What exactly do we mean when we say flow state?
Flow state describes being really deeply absorbed in an activity of interest.
Autism Advocate-Niamh Biddulph
Q: And then, would you have any advice for autistic young people who are sort of about to sort of head out into the workplace?
Autistic young people should feel comfortable disclosing their disability and focus on finding jobs that align with their interests and strengths.
