On February 2-3, 2018, a group of 7 nonspeaking autistics from Growing Kids Therapy Center (a.k.a. “The Tribe”) and 18 University of Virginia undergraduates gathered in Charlottesville to discuss, among other things, what role empathy and compassion should play in creating welcoming communities. They were joined by Dr. Barry Prizant, author of “Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism.” The two groups of students are participants in the second cohort of a year-long seminar called “The Science & Lived Experience of Autism.” This video captures highlights from their third in-person meeting.
