Exploring Exercise Through an Autism Lens
Exercise is often discussed through neurotypical expectations, but movement, fitness, and physical activity can look very different when viewed through an autistic lens.
Join Autism Edmonton for Exploring Exercise Through an Autistic Lens, a virtual learning session focused on understanding movement, sensory experiences, motivation, accessibility, and well-being in ways that honour autistic experiences and needs.
This session will explore how sensory processing, executive functioning, coordination, anxiety, interoception, burnout, and social expectations can impact relationships with exercise and physical activity. Participants will also learn about creating more neuro-affirming and accessible approaches to movement that prioritize regulation, enjoyment, and sustainability rather than pressure or conformity.
Whether you are autistic, supporting an autistic person, or working in education, recreation, health, or wellness, this session offers valuable insight into making exercise and movement more inclusive and supportive for neurodivergent individuals.
