Autism and Sociability
Saturday 12 May / 2pm – 3.30pm / FREE
In this talk and Q & A session Caroline Hearst, a late diagnosed autistic woman, will examine how and why autistic people often struggle socially, and will suggest ways that autistic and non autistic people might better understand each other and communicate effectively. Expect an interesting and surprising exploration of an aspect of autism from an informed insider perspective. Caroline Hearst is the founder of Autism Matters and AutAngel.
