Celebrating Neurodiversity: Different Minds, Infinite Possibilites
The international day for the Autism Awareness is 2nd of April. Therefore there are many events happening in the month of April, globally, to spread awareness about the Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Traditionally these events are organised, held and run by medical professionals, national and international organisations with speakers who work with or advocate on behalf of the people on the spectrum.
Whereas professional experience and insights are invaluable when it comes to describing, explaining different conditions and/or disorders, we would like this event to be about the actual people and not the Autism Spectrum Disorder as a Diagnosis.
Therefore we invited 3 speakers who are on the spectrum themselves to share their life journey to open a door for you into their life, to let you see what it is like to experience this world through the Autism lense.
And as our speakers are not the only ones on this journey dealing with life challneges and its rewards on their own, we invited their loved ones, their carers to join in sharing their own experiences.
We are generous with Q&A opportunities throughout the whole event as we would like to encourage you to ask any questions you have or share your own experiences, worries, triumphs and such.
On the day we will be showcasing the literature we, people on the spectrum and carers, have found helpful or insightful, different devices and tools we, the adults and/or our children found on the market and use to help with sensory and other issues and we are also inviting the representatives of the clinics we have experience with here in Dubai that offer services to the people on the spectrum.
We would like to bring all the community together and really hope, that the door into the Autistic Community once opened, will remain so for others to see and join us on the journey called LIFE.
