Following Autscape 2020's example, the AUsome autistic conference will be taking place online this year, via Zoom.

The programme is here:
https://www.facebook.com/ausometraining ... 4921217378

At 11:15, I will be joining Stiof and Kieran in a panel discussion about neurodiversity.

At 16:30, I will be joining Eoin, Melissa and Kieran in a Q&A session.

Prior to the AUsome conference, I'm still not sure when, I will be joining Evaleen for a video interview at AUsome Training's Facebook page.

In the meantime, you can check Eoin's interview with Evaleen:

If you will be joining us at the AUsome conference, then see you there

Could you please post the program somewhere other than just Facebook? Maybe on a Wordpress blog, or a Google Blogger blog?

Some of us simply refuse to use Facebook for various reasons. Please see the thread "Who else hates Facebook" in the Members Only sub-forum.

Great interview, Ken! Really enjoyed that. Well spoken. I'm glad you overcame the challenges of putting yourself out there, being on the receiving end of angry parents, but persevering and encouraging an accepting and positive perspective. I too remember those early days, back in 2006. I remember Autistic Treehouse(USA), the Australia Autism Forum, Aspies for Freedom, and PAAINS(UK autism forum), among others. I loved seeing the surge of blogs in that time and the strong advocacy & support that would gather over certain cases of mistreatment in the workplace/workplace discrimination & assaults, children being mistreated in schools, teens/adults on the spectrum being wrongfully removed from their homes and institutionalised and the fight to have them freed. Members of Parliament being contacted and sometimes supported in their good work to assist in the Disability Sector. The years have flown!
