All Brains Are Beautiful: A Look at Neurodiversity and AutismOur introductory workshop created by Autistics United Vancouver in collaboration with SFU Autistics United. "All Brains are Beautiful" discusses the concepts of neurodiversity, disability justice, autistic/disabled identity, culture, and pride, as well as practical tips for allying and community care. We also have two others versions of our all brains a beautiful workshop; our Autistic Intersections Workshop and our Disability Justice Workshop. See below for more information. |
Autistics Intersections"If you have met one autistic person, you have met one autistic person!" While public perception of autism is often stereotyped, autistic people are diverse and multi-faceted, coming from all walks (and wheels) of life. The autistic experience intersects with race, gender, citizenship, faith, age, socioeconomic status, other disabilities, and more. In this workshop, autistic self-advocates from Autistics United Canada speak about autistic identity and its intersections from lived experience. Topics include neurodiversity, effective allyship, universal design, and disability justice. Note that is a one of three versions of our All Brains are Beautiful Workshop. |
