Webinar: 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 terminonlogy 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.
