Talking About Autism With Autistic Children: Their Story to Tell
February 2, 2026 | 11:30 - 12:30 PM
This session covers parents’ unique role in shaping autistic children’s understanding of autism and offers concrete strategies for starting and continuing the conversation. Children’s understanding of what autism means for them changes as they age. Fostering a strengths-based autistic self-awareness early on lays the foundation for self-advocacy throughout the lifespan. Topics include talking about a new diagnosis, identifying strengths and accommodation needs, strategies to encourage self-advocacy, and the importance of Autistic and Neurodivergent representation.
