October 21st webinar to cover disclosure and self-advocacy

Posted by Robert Fuller on Friday, October 16, 2020 in News.

We are excited to announce that the October Autistics’ Roundtable webinar will focus on disclosure and self-advocacy! Tune in on October 21st at 1pm (CT) to hear from five self-advocates about their experiences navigating disclosure in personal, academic, and professional settings.

Our main speaker will be Autistic Self Advocacy Network Director of Operations Zoe Gross. Zoe has several years of experience in the realms of personal and society-wide advocacy. Panelists will be Washington Post Assistant Editor Eric Garcia, Austin Peay State University Student Amaya Caudel, and ArtLifting Artist Preston Vienneau.

As usual, the panel will be moderated by Frist Center Communications Coordinator Claire Barnett. She will pose several questions, then take questions from the audience for the panel to answer. You do not need to register in advance for this webinar – just join us at 1pm CT/2pm EST on Wednesday, October 21st using the zoom link on the flyer.

This webinar will be recorded and made available on the Frist Center YouTube channel by the end of October. You can watch last month’s webinar on international perceptions of autism by clicking here.
