GLSEA: Autism: What's Changing?

Event Information

Tuesday, 8th July 10am - 12pm

Online (Microsoft Teams)

The session will explore our current understanding of autism and how theories are developing as this understanding matures. It will discuss how these changes impact our perceptions of autism, and specifically how autistic voices can be central to supporting better and more comfortable workplace access for autistic people.

The session is aimed at anyone working with autistic people (so everyone!); anyone interested in increasing their understanding of autistic lived experience and increasing workplace access for autistic individuals.

Dr Clare Lawrence is an autistic academic. She is an Associate Professor at Bishop Grosseteste University with an interest in participatory autism research - research that is done with and by the autistic community.
