Just listened to Damon. His message must go beyond the borders of the autistic world .As Dr. Deepa Singal said ,”are we really listening”
In my view ,the voice of non verbal autistics must be be front and centre in any National Autism Strategy.#CALS2021
#CALS2021 is in full swing! We are now welcoming Damon Kirsebom & @DeepaSingal to the virtual stage starting for their keynote presentation: “Visioning a #NationalAutismStrategy.”
Honoured to be part of this talented team to help advance the innovative work started by IHSPR. The Health System Impact Fellowship is a world class training program (acknowledging my bias😉).
NEW! Meet the leadership team for the #CIHR_ImpactFellows National Cohort Training Program (NCTP)
The NCTP is a 2-year initiative that will advance embedded research training, networking, collaboration & learning health systems across Canada

The $15.4M announced in #Budget2021 includes a new $7M towards developing a National Autism Strategy.
With the experience of a global pandemic highlighting major gaps in supports for Autistic Canadians, a robust #NationalAutismStrategy is needed now more than ever.

April is #AutismAcceptanceMonth. I would like to pay tribute to the Canadian Journal of Autism Equity. It is the first 🇨🇦 journal that focuses on equity within the autism community.

Defining "normal"
An Autistic writer defines NeuroTYPICAL syndrome as " a biological disorder characterized by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority and obsession with conformity. There is no know cure.” TRUE😂

It simply means that you are a bit different from everyone else. And in a world where everyone strives to act, think and look the same - being different is truly something to be proud of.
Thats why I’m very proud to be autistic. 7/7
