Neurodiversity Workshops

Autistic, otherwise neurodivergent, and neurotypical high school students working together to help us increase neurodiversity awareness, brainstorm ways that autistic and neurotypical teens can understand each other better, and helping us create materials to share their work.

Session topics include:   

• The neurobiology of social interaction

• Social norms and manners —how and why did they evolve?

• Nonverbal communication

• Masking and code-switching

• Awkward moments

• Rejection

• Dealing with ignorance and misinterpretations

• Self-awareness and self-advocacy

These workshops only run in the fall and spring sessions for an intensive 8 week experience. All participants earn community service hours — but students must apply to participate. Donations are welcome to help cover costs and support our mission.
