In this webinar, we had the opportunity to learn how to shift from traditional views that pathologise autism to recognising and respecting neurodiversity, fostering a more inclusive environment. Also, discuss some practical strategies for seeking and honouring the preferences of autistic individuals, ensuring their active participation in decisions that affect their lives.
