Parenting on the Spectrum

Books, movies, television shows, and blogs that discuss how best to raise autistic children often come for the perspective of allistic—or, non-autistic—caregivers. But what about the perspectives of parents and guardians who are themselves autistic? To find out, join us for a live discussion with Dr. Morénike Giwa Onaiwu as we explore the gifts, insights, and wisdom that come along with being an autistic parent to autistic children. This is an Autistic Alliance Month event.
