Neurodiversity and Consent

Neurodivergent people are an integral part of our society and communities. This workshop provides an opportunity to discuss and share information about neurodiversity and consent and ways of creating more accessible, trauma-informed spaces. We will talk about the complexity around it and give tips for how to navigate that complexity.

The focus of the workshop is for non-autistic/neurotypical community and organizers to help create accessible and trauma-informed spaces. Neurodivergent people are welcome to attend to give voice to their experience and knowledge, but the focus will be on what neurotypical people can do to help.
