About This Event
All Brains Belong VT invites anyone who cares about Autistic people to attend our third annual presentation of "Shifting the Autism Narrative: The Impact of Stigma on Health."
This webinar was presented 4/16/24 by Autistic physician, Mel Houser, M.D., Founder and Executive Director of All Brains Belong VT, who provides medical care to Autistic people through the lifespan.
Shifting the Autism Narrative: The Impact of Stigma on Health
The Status Quo is Failing Autistic People
Autistic people have an average life expectancy of age 36-54 years. Leading causes of death are premature cardiovascular disease and suicide. Extensive research shows that Autistic people are dissatisfied with their healthcare, experience significant barriers in accessing care, and feel marginalized and stigmatized by the healthcare system.
Reimaging Healthcare & Community
Let’s travel together on the journey of unlearning outdated concepts toward the pursuit of inclusive, comprehensive care for autistic patients of all ages.
Participants will leave with concrete strategies for being more inclusive of Autistic patients (and everyone else who learns, thinks, or communicates differently from one’s self).
Access to the recorded webinar is available by donation. All donations are tax-deductible will support All Brains Belong's neuroinclusive community programs for kids and adults.
