$Autism \u2013 Through a Cultural Lens$

"No matter how much you know about a particular culture, each individual's embodiment of their culture needs to be discovered" – Dr Lou Cozolina.
Join Tanea Paterson for a conversation about viewing autism or takiwātanga (‘in their own space and time’) as a cultural difference, in order to help understand autism and autistic people better.
Learn more about autism's core traits (social interaction, communication, behaviour, and sensory processing) and how we can consider those characteristics through a cultural lens to enhance interpersonal connections in our communities.
Add some new tools to your neurodivergence kete.
