Autistic Self-Advocates Forum

A recent article about a study examining the connection between dance and autism was published in the Virginia Tech Magazine and included the following statement: “People with autism often lack social skills and struggle to understand others’ feelings.”

Some autistic self-advocates in our community who disagree with this statement are drafting a letter to correct these assumptions made about autistics, and would love for their peers to add their voices to the conversation.

An Autistic Self-Advocates Forum will be held via Zoom to have a discussion and formulate this group letter. Please RSVP below to receive the Zoom link and email claudet@ourstompingground.org with any related questions.
