Join us for a special event with Dr. Grandin, one of the world’s most accomplished and well-known adults with autism, who has been at the forefront of research and activism for autism for decades.
Her memoir, Emergence: Labeled Autistic, was published in 1986, and she has continued to write about autism and neurodivergence over the decades. Her most recent book is Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions.
Dr. Grandin’s research and understanding of animal behavior spearheaded a reform in the quality of life for agricultural animals worldwide.
