Join us for this webinar that will unpack some of the myths and stereotypes around Autism, and how the misrepresentation can impact individuals access to supports as well as increase the gaps in equity and inclusion, but most importantly get a better understanding of neurodiversity and how to be a better supporter and ally of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
