SUMMARY:Language Matters: How We Communicate Our Findings as Scientists (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:​This presentation is part of the Azrieli Accelerator Engaged Research Discussion Series. During this online discussion we will explore how the language used in research shapes public understanding\, policy conversations\, and community trust.  \n\n\n\nUsing neurodiversity-affirming language as a case example\, we will examine how people with lived experience wish to be represented in scientific literature and the responsibilities researchers hold as their work circulates beyond academic journals.  \n\n\n\nParticipants will reflect on precision\, accuracy\, and intentional language choices in research communication. \n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 1712:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. (Mountain Time)Online via Azrieli Accelerator \n\n\n\nRegistration for this event is via the Azrieli Accelerator. You can register by clicking the button that says\, “Register”. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n​About the Azrieli Accelerator Engaged Research Discussion Series \n\n\n\n​This series helps researchers build capacity to meaningfully engage people with lived experience as participants and partners in research. Open to researchers and trainees across all disciplines\, we introduce core principles of engaged research and explore how inclusive\, community-partnered approaches can strengthen research design\, practice\, and knowledge sharing in neurodevelopment research.

SUMMARY:Your Time\, Your Way - Crafting Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:Many individuals benefit from what is referred to as a “third space”—a place separate from home\, work\, or school where there is no obligation to spend money on food or beverages. To that end\, our doors are open every Tuesday\, Wednesday\, and Thursday evening for members of our community to use our space. \n\n\n\nDrop-in to work or play\, rest and recharge\, with no pressure to engage in structured activities.

Spend the evening crafting\, chatting\, and sharing ideas in a laid-back environment. No experience needed\, just a willingness to create and connect. All skill levels are welcome. \n\n\n\nParticipants can bring their own craft and supplies\, however\, materials will be provided for people who want to try something new\, like origami\, painting\, key chain and bracelet making and adult colouring. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you don’t want to participate in the craft meet-up\, you are still welcome to use the space; here’s a not-exhaustive list of things you can do: \n\n\n\n\nSocializing: Chat with others\, make new connections\, or catch up with friends\n\n\n\nUsing Computers: Access  the internet\, complete personal tasks\, or explore hobbies online.

SUMMARY:Women's Group: Peer Support for 18+
DESCRIPTION:Women often face unique experiences as Autistic and neurodivergent individuals\, including how we socialize\, societal expectations\, and how Autism is understood and expressed.  \n\n\n\nWe’re thrilled to offer a new group designed specifically for Autistic and neurodivergent adults (18+) who identify as women or who connect with experiences of womanhood.* This is not a therapy group\, but rather\, a supportive\, non-clinical space to discuss and share ideas\, lived experiences\, and connect meaningfully with others. \n\n\n\nThe content and resources shared in this group are informed by both lived Autistic experience and research as they intersect with gendered experiences in society. \n\n\n\nIn this first session\, we’ll discuss: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding Autism and gender differences\n\n\n\nUnderstanding how this affects presentation\, diagnosis\, and the link to stereotypes\n\n\n\nBreaking down barriers and stereotypes\n\n\n\n\n*This group is intended for Autistic and neurodivergent folks who identify as women or who connect with experiences of womanhood\, inclusive of non-binary and other 2SLGBTQ+ identities and expressions. This boundary ensures that participants can share openly without explanation\, justification or judgement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 176:00 – 7:30 p.m.In-person at The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24 Ave NW)There is no cost to attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is appreciated\, but not required.
