Discover what’s possible when action is the path to acceptance.  This week’s episode is a recording of one of our Global Autism Community exclusive events! After a few months of working behind the scenes on various projects, we’re happy to announce that our community events are back up and running. The topic of this roundtable discussion was Shifting From Awareness to Acceptance.  Participating in this event were Autistic Self-Advocates Stephanie De Kremer, Michelle Vinokurov, and Sara Bradford, as well as community members Danielle Terrell, Cheryl Albright, Laura Leonard, and Brenda Canas. You’ll also hear from our new cohort of moderators, Andrew Bennett, Cassidy Hooper, Stephane Guidon, and Korey Taylor. In today’s conversation, we discuss: What acceptance means, including self-acceptance How to educate the public about autism The importance of community outings Inclusion in society  Roundtable discussions like the one you’ll hear today are open exclusively for members of our online Global Autism Community. We select a different theme each month, and our moderators monitor posts daily to ensure that our online space remains safe and respectful.
