Words like “inflexible”\, “rigid”\, “lack ” and “difficulty” are commonly found alongside definitions of autism. \n\n\n\nHowever\, we know that the medical model of disability–which uses those terms–doesn’t tell the whole story. The human experience really is one of diversity and we want to educate and encourage others to embrace our neurological differences\, not as something that needs to be “cured\,” but instead recognizing the benefits and beauty that different perspectives provide. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will replace outdated definitions and descriptions of autism with positives\, beginning with celebrating the many positive traits and characteristics common among Autistics and empowering those individuals to embrace who they are and what they have to offer. We will also highlight the vibrancy of Autistic culture and learn ways we can support inclusion in our communities. \n\n\n\nWe are committed to changing the perception of and language around autism and celebrating the many amazing strengths and characteristics of Autistics we know and have the privilege of working with. \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter: \n\n\n\nSherry Taylor has more than 15 years of experience in the not-for-profit industry. She is currently the Program Coordinator for EmploymentWorks at Sinneave. She is passionate about developing engaging curriculum and content for Autistic youth and adults through a strengths-based lens\, focusing on the strengths\, characteristics and positive traits that Autistics bring to their communities.
