April is Autism Acceptance Month, a perfect time to share this new advocacy video, Autistic Culture 101: A 2E Perspective, the doctoral project of Andrea Brucella Finnegan, Ed.D., ABD, from the Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity. CGCC Treasurer Pam Shaw's youngest was among seventeen twice-exceptional autistic teens and adults who contributed their perspectives to the video. 

This project is intended to be a neurodiversity-affirming autism advocacy video targeted at neurotypical students who don't yet understand autism well.

Dr. Finnegan shared, "As an artist, I was honored to illustrate what I learned from everyone's narratives and words of advice. It is my hope that someday all autistic people will be better understood and that all schools will strive to adopt a neurodiversity-affirming environment, where all students can feel comfortable being their wonderful, authentic selves."
