Description

It goes without saying that autistic people are human. Yet, for the longest time, autism has been contextualized as robots or needing to be fixed.

Matt Lowry is an Autistic adult and Licensed Psychological Practitioner who works exclusively with Autistic clients, performing neurodiversity-affirming Autism evaluations and providing Autistic Centered Therapy (AuCT)--a form of therapy that he helped create.

Together, we cover:

  • Why intersectionality is critical to the future of autism
  • False assumptions people make about autism
  • How to make workplaces more inclusive to people with autism
