Reframing Autism
​
"We want to change the frame through which society views Autism. The frame through which we choose to see Autism is the neurodiversity paradigm, which means that we see Autism as a valuable, worthy and naturally occurring brain difference. Whether you're a parent, professional or Autistic individual, we invite you to explore our on-demand learning options."
