Join Rachel - a licensed clinical social worker, educator, multiply neurodivergent person and parent - for a discussion of their experiences joining autistic folks of all ages on a journey of self-discovery, and partnering with families and constellations of care to center radical acceptance.
Rachel will share how they make sense of their experience, education and training in trauma-informed care + autism assessment and support, how they encourage other professionals to join them in (un)learning, and how they are working to uplift the experiences of autistic women, queer, transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming folks. Rachel will also share a brief introduction to the Neurodiversity Movement, and how centering acceptance and inclusion without contingency in our homes, schools, and therapy rooms is necessary for a society in which all brains, bodies and people are inherently valued and respected.
