Living with Autism: The Meaning of Neurodiversity

How might autistic people see the world differently, and what can we learn from that difference? Sponsored by School House and Arthur Vining Davis Foundation.

House Center B
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars

In this mini-seminar, participants will explore the lived experience of autistic-spectrum disorders. How might autistic people see the world differently, and what can we learn from that difference? Is Autism best viewed through a disability or a diversity lens? We will screen the PBS documentary "Neurotypical," read poetry from and interviews with autism spectrum writers, and engage with community members on this topic.

Discussion led by Sara Chaney, Institute for Writing and Rhetoric
