Navigating University with Autism

Date

Wednesday April 24, 2024
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Location

ONLINE via Zoom

This professionally facilitated group is designed to help students with autism succeed in a university environment.  This group takes the view  that there is no one “normal” or “right” brain.  There are diverse forms of processing social information, cognitions, and sensory information. In the same way that there isn’t a “right” gender, race, class, or sexual orientation, there isn’t a “right” way for the brain to be wired. Neurodiversity can be a powerful asset for society, a business, or a family. However, it does pose more challenging trying to operate in a system like a university, that is designed only for “neuro typical” brains.
