Healthy Autistic Boundaries- By Moriah Williams.
Healthy Autistic Boundaries. A Class for Autistic Teens and Adults
Healthy Autistic Boundaries. A Class for Autistic Teens and Adults
Together we will explore the following:
- Ways that boundary considerations differ for autistic and non-autistic people.
- How you identify your internal signals and find boundaries in various situations that are supportive for your relationships with yourself and others.
- Possibilities for how to relate to autism and the social structures that affect our varied autistic experiences and other identities, and what kind of presence we want to have in the world.
The class will be a combination of lectures, activities/explorations, and discussions.
There will be multiple options for how you would like to participate or observe (and there is always a “something else” option if you want to do something different), so please come as yourself and you will be welcome here.
Curriculum, slides, video/audio recordings, transcripts, and Padlet conversations will all be available to participants for your continued exploration. There will be a WhatsApp class group.
