About this Event
Though the autism community has gained relevance online in recent years, a vast majority of those who aren’t autistic know very little about what the experience is like. This presentation serves to highlight aspects of autistic culture and common misconceptions that non-autistic people have.
Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Navigate work with autistic clients in a culturally competent way, integrating concepts of person centered language and autistic perspectives.
