Autism Awareness vs. Acceptance – Understanding Neurodiversity in Practice
What does it really mean to move from awareness to acceptance—and why does it matter?
Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking webinar. We’ll unpack the neurodiversity paradigm and how it challenges traditional, deficit-based views of autism, while exploring the subtle ways that language, systems, and culture shape our understanding of Autistic identity.
Topics include:
Explanations of key terminology and what the neurodiversity paradigm is and why it matters
The difference between autism awareness and autism acceptance
What systemic ableism and neuronormativity are—and why they matter
How to recognize “neurodiversity lite” vs. truly neuro-affirming practices
The power of language in shaping perception and policy
Practical steps to becoming a better ally, and why self-acceptance is central to the conversation
We are an Autistic led team and whether you're an educator, healthcare provider, parent, advocate, or just curious to learn more, this session will offer insight, reflection, and real-world strategies for meaningful inclusion and allyship.
Let’s move beyond buzzwords and into action.
