Over the last several decades awareness of autism has grown significantly. During this time our understanding of autism and the way we conceptualize it has also changed significantly. In this session we will review topics that help you to better understand what autism is and what it isn’t, and allow you to hear from autistic individuals about what you can do to be an ally for the autism community.
