Navigating University with Autism
Date
Wednesday October 23, 20244:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Location
ONLINE via ZoomThis wellness group is hosted by Student Wellness Services.
This professionally facilitated group is designed to help students with autism succeed in a university environment. This group takes the view that there is no one 鈥渘ormal鈥 or 鈥渞ight鈥 brain. There are diverse forms of processing social information, cognitions, and sensory information. In the same way that there isn鈥檛 a 鈥渞ight鈥 gender, race, class, or sexual orientation, there isn鈥檛 a 鈥渞ight鈥 way for the brain to be wired. Neurodiversity can be a powerful asset for society, a business, or a family. However, it does pose more challenging trying to operate in a system like a university, that is designed only for 鈥渘euro typical鈥 brains.
F2024 dates/times: Wednesdays, Sept. 25 to Nov. 20 (excluding Oct. 16) from 4:00-5:30pm
