Now Whaut?
Congratulations, you're Autistic! Now what?
First, celebrate. Knowing yourself just got a whole lot more possible. In fact, I often feel like recognizing myself as Autistic was the best thing to ever happen to me.
Next, buckle up. Once you have a label for how your brain works, there's a tremendous amount of learning to do to start tuning it. Luckily, you're not the first person to process the world in a non-typical way. You're certainly not alone.
I can teach you to be Autistic. It's a bold offer, I know. I'm a bold mothafucka. That's part of my autism.
I want to be clear that this is not an offer to correct you, nor is it a pitch for you to become more neurotypical. This is an invitation to learn how to show up as your best self in a world that has a heckuva lot of good in it, if you know how to navigate.
In this course, you will:
-
Understand your Autism as a strength
-
Learn to manage your Autism as a human
-
Makes friends and build community as a creator
-
Build a resource for other Autistics
Curriculum
We'll follow the learnings from three primary thought leaders: Dr. Devon Price, Neurodivergent Lou, and Temple Grandin, all Autistic. Over a 12-week semester, we'll share our own experiences in an interactive workshop style. See the week-by-week.
Format
Six to eight student cohorts meet live in virtual reality (VR). Think of it as a graduate-level classroom course. Details.
Students
This course is designed for folks with a late-in-life autism diagnosis. For me, that meant age 43. I'm not particularly concerned about your age, though; I'll let you determine your eligibility for yourself. Apply.
