Autistic Self Advocacy Network: Parents and Autistic Self-Advocates - What We Wish Parents Knew

Hosted by Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

Join ASAN on August 13 from 4:00-5:30 p.m. ET for Parents & Autistic Self-Advocates: What We Wish Parents Knew, a FREE two-part webinar. Hear two panels explore the same topic from different lived experiences and see where they share, disagree, and build on each other. In these webinars, they’ll talk about different perspectives on raising autistic kids, what helps autistic people thrive at home, at school, and in our communities, and lessons, advice, and experiences that can help families better support autistic people.

The first webinar, from 4:00-4:40 p.m. ET will feature a panel of parents — including autistic parents — of autistic people sharing what they wish other parents knew. The second webinar, from 4:50-5:30 p.m. ET, will feature a panel of autistic self-advocates — including autistic parents — sharing what they wish parents knew about raising autistic kids.

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network seeks to advance the principles of the disability rights movement with regard to autism. ASAN believes that the goal of autism advocacy should be a world in which autistic people enjoy equal access, rights, and opportunities.
