Parents & Autistic Self-Advocates: What We Wish Parents Knew

"Upcoming Webinar!" in front of a textured orange background with a purple wavy border going across the top

What do parents of autistic children wish other parents knew? What do autistic people wish parents knew about raising autistic kids? Join us on August 13 from 4:00-5:30pm ET for Parents & Autistic Self-Advocates: What We Wish Parents Knew, a two-part webinar featuring these conversations back-to-back. Hear two panels explore the same topic from different lived experiences and see where we share, disagree, and build on each other. 

The first webinar, from 4:00-4:40pm ET, will feature a panel of parents — including autistic parents — of autistic people sharing what they wish other parents knew. The second webinar, from 4:50-5:30pm ET, will feature a panel of autistic self-advocates — including autistic parents — sharing what they wish parents knew about raising autistic kids.

In these webinars, we will talk about:

  • Different perspectives on raising autistic kids
  • What helps autistic people thrive at home, at school, and in our communities
  • Lessons, advice, and experiences that can help families better support autistic people

This webinar is open to everyone, but we especially want to invite self-advocates, parents, caregivers, and allies to attend!

Register to join us on August 13 from 4:00-5:30pm ET. This webinar will be on Zoom and CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) will be provided. This webinar will also be shared on YouTube after. Please email all questions and accommodation requests such as ASL interpretation to [email protected] by the end of the day August 6.
