SUMMARY:Diversity You Cannot See
DESCRIPTION:Did you know today an estimated 40% of people deal with autistic\, attention deficit\, anxiety\, and/or dyslexic disorders? Combined\, these mental differences account for the bulk of what sociologists refer to as “neurodiversity\,” or natural variations in everyone’s brain\, particularly those who have outlying characteristics\, such as autism. \nIn this special one-hour web event\, 30-year veteran Cynthia Coupé will share her own experience as a neurodiversity expert and mother of an autistic daughter\, as well as industry insights and perspectives from three other neurodivergent proponents: one working professionally in the tech industry\, a grad student “on the spectrum\,” and one neurodiversity staffing executive. Register here. \nTogether\, they’ll discuss how neurotypical people can better interact with this intelligent and unique population\, where communication breakdowns usually happen\, and what the future holds for this often misunderstood but increasingly important talent pool. They’ll also explore how societal awareness\, appreciation\, and participation with neurodivergent people can have a big impact on the way we work\, learn\, and commune with one another. \n“Neurodiversity is the new normal\,” Coupé says. “Even though it’s less stigmatized today\, many people still don’t know how to navigate it\, even though we all interact with it regularly (whether we realize it or not). To build safe spaces where everyone can grow\, collaborate\, and work in the way that plays to our strengths\, this panel will lead the discussion on how we can better understand ourselves and each other.” \n“Diversity You Cannot See” is presented by Making Our Strong Community Stronger and is freely available to anyone in the world on July 27\, 2022 at 12 pm Eastern Time. A Q&A “town hall” session will follow at the same time on July 28. Replays will be available after each live event. We hope you will attend this important event.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Autism in the AW
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the year we are running fully funded 60 minute “Introduction to Autism in the Workplace” sessions for employers \nWhy are we doing it? \nJust 16% of autistic adults are in full time employment. TRACK is supporting businesses across the SEMLEP region to embrace the talents of a diverse range of individuals. So far we have supported 40 people into paid employment\, and over 100 more into access work experience placements. \nTo help create further opportunities we will be providing a 60-minute training session for organizations\, which will help to create opportunities for individuals. \nHow and What? \nThe 60-minute training session will outline what autism is\, how autistic employees can bring a huge amount of talent to your business and how to support autistic employees. You will be able to take this knowledge back into your organization and share the information with colleagues\, so we can truly be a local area which is talking about – and encouraging – autism in the workplace. We will also cover strategies to ensure you business is aware and accepting of autism. Small environmental changes can make a life changing difference \nPlaces are free to all employers\, thank to support from Thinking Books.

SUMMARY:Driving with Autism – Five Things Your Driving School Won’t Teach You
DESCRIPTION:June 21 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm ET\, $25 \n\n\n\nRegister now and watch this webinar live or later on-demand.  See below for details. \nDESCRIPTION: Driving schools cover a wide range of topics\, such as traffic laws\, road signs and traffic signals\, road safety rules and more. Driving lessons may start out in a parking lot\, progress to local roads\, then highways\, and crowded city streets. There are even specific driving school services that help parents supervise their teen’s or young adult’s driving practices.  Not a lot of research has been done on what’s the best way for autistic individuals to learn how to drive or to cope with some of the ongoing challenges of driving.   In this webinar\, we take more of a “grassroots” approach.  We know what helps autistic individuals learn to drive and be successful at it\, because we are those individuals.    Most driving schools aren’t usually equipped with an autism-friendly curriculum\, so this webinar outlines five things that driving schools forget to teach\, but are essential to the driving success of autistic driving students: \n\nIdentifying & Tapping into your Motivation\nUnderstanding the Financial Realities of Driving\nCoping with the Unexpected & Managing Anxiety\nManaging Sensory Overload\nHandling Police Interactions & Safety\n\nDuring the last 20-30 minutes of this webinar\, attendees will be able to pose questions to the speaker\, via the Zoom chat feature. \nSPEAKER: Andrew Arboe: Founder of  Driving with Autism \nAndrew specializes in helping autistic drivers and their families pursue driving as a transportation option. Andrew Arboe found a career path with driving\, because of his personal experiences learning how to drive\, while autistic. Lack of transportation means that people can’t access employment and education\, and lack of driving resources for people with autism and research on driving with autism continues to hamper access to transportation for autistic individuals.  This is the reason that Andrew offers “Driving with Autism Workshops.”   Andrew knows that he cannot speak for everyone’s experience\, so he embraces the idea of going over tips and concepts to help new drivers create their own roadmap on driving. Along with his workshops\, Andrew offers online consulting to new drivers and parents nationwide\, and actively collaborates with professionals and driving schools to improve the driving experience for autistic individuals. He believes having people learn about self-help can make a major difference in their lives\, then waiting for an invisible force to make things better.
