Learning About Autistic Culture (Part 2)
Well it doesn’t surprise me at all that Part1 of this webinar was such a popular resource.
And the fact that it doesn’t surprise me is pleasing! It means I know how may are proactively seeking new knowledge. Even only a few years ago it would have surprised me to know that so many were interested in the topic of Autistic culture. And that tells me that autistic culture is becoming more dominant and visible and accessible and accepted and I am so proud of all of us for being part of that shift!
Our children are relying on us. And we are doing good!
Also, I’m not surprised that there was waaaay more to talk about than what could fit into one webinar, so here we have… PART 2!! Please come and join me for my webinar Learning About Autistic Culture (Part 2)
In our hour together we will go through a long ( non exhaustive) list of specific elements of autistic culture, how you can support it, and why it benefits us all, not just our autistic kin.
Every autistic person’s needs are different but there are underlying elements that they stay the same, and they are all related to acceptance, safety and being valued.
Part 1 of Learning About Autistic Culture is still available to purchase as a replay so if you wish to watch that one first you can click here to get access.
If not, you will still benefit from Part 2.
There is so much to say. And this is the kind resource that will create the kind of world our children need and deserve.

Hi, I'm Alli.
A former Neurologic Music Therapist who stepped out of the allied health system after 16 years, and now focuses on enacting societal change by dismantling harmful musical myths.
As a woman I was suppressed by the systems that told me to ‘be seen and not heard’, to ‘stop being hysterical’, to ‘not give up my day job’ in response to my musical expression.
Others were led to believe that not being able to play an instrument, sing in tune or access lessons meant they were ‘not musical’. Some were told to mine in the school choir. Many were punished for using their voice to speak up.
These systems are coming to an end.
AND WE ARE THE ONES DISMANTLING THEM.
To be human is to be musical. And once we step into our full power as musical beings our lives will transform in ways we never knew were possible.
