I approached the 'Understanding Autism and Behavior' course with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, but I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and breadth of the material. As a psychologist working in Denmark, I was interested in learning more about autism and how to apply this knowledge in my practice. The course provided a thorough overview of the subject, covering topics such as diagnosis, assessment, and intervention. I appreciated the emphasis on evidence-based practices and the use of case studies to illustrate key concepts. The course materials were well-organized and easy to navigate, and the instructors were responsive to questions and feedback. One of the most useful takeaways for me was learning about the different approaches to supporting individuals with autism, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and occupational therapy. Overall, I found the course to be informative and practical, and I would recommend it to colleagues and students interested in autism and behavior.
