On Wednesday, february twenty sixth, at two o'clock PM Central Standard Time, there will be a new episode of Autistic Voices Roundtable Discussion entitled I am Autistic, I Am Not Disordered. Eric Garcia and three other panelists will answer some comments that were made last November that autistics are not normal and we need special treatments.
Our panelists will talk about being autistic as a unique identity and how we are not disordered. Though autistics have disabilities because of the microaggression of ableism that society uses to marginalize autistics, we do have strengths to achieve success that go unrecognized. This episode of Autistic Voices Roundtable Discussion will be live and recorded on the YouTube channel at today's Autistic Moment.
