Rethinking Autism

1 Apr 8PM - 9PM

Rethinking Autism Roundtable

The autism spectrum is often viewed through a lens of bias and misunderstanding, resulting in people on the autism spectrum being pressured to conform instead of the encouraged to thrive. Join us and a panel of experts as we discuss autism and the benefits of neurodivergent mindsets.
