Description

Developed and ran 3 workshops with the aim to improve mutual understanding and explore how the academic and autism communities could better work together. To achieve this, we developed a new partnership between autism@manchester and Salfordautism and 3 x 2 hour workshops were created and ran in November 2015 with 19 autistics adults and parents of autistic children. The workshops consisted of presentations from academics and autistic adults, discussion groups and interactive activities.
