Dr Prizant will be discussing: Uniquely Human: There is no such thing as “Autistic Behavior”
There are many misconceptions about autism and the experience of autistic people. In this discussion, myths surrounding the behaviors observed in autism, and the belief that autism is only experienced by the individual with the ASD diagnosis will be challenged and a paradigm-shifting perspective will be offered.
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED….THANK YOU!
