Understanding Autism
Event Information
About this event
For parents who wish to understand the Autism perspective and learn how to support and help their child. This is especially relevant to those new to Autism, but all parents are welcome.
Marie Byrne has over 30 years experience as a wife, mother, teacher and therapist to people with autism/autistic people. In this live event she brings the insights of her lived experience to parents of young people who are new to the world of Autism.
Marie believes in respecting and working with the Autism perspective and in empowering parents and professionals to consider the perspectives and rights of the Autistic person at all times.
While she is the person speaking, she brings insights from the many autistic people she has loved and worked with over the years and acknowledges the roles of her husband and son, in particular, in educating her in the Autism Perspective.
