Translating Autistic Communication

Join Dr. Holmes as she discusses neurodiversity awareness and communication and the culture of the Autistic Community with Evelyn Whelton.

As the founder of AUsome Training and organizer of AUsome Conference, Evaleen Whelton made the wonderful discovery that she is Autistic 6 years ago at the age of 37. Since then she has been advocating for positive change for Autistic people.

Evaleen concentrated her efforts on raising appreciation for Autistic thinking, delivering educational workshops, and set about her journey to normalize the perception of autism in the wider community. As well as writing articles, social skills books for children, organizing conferences and talks on various topics relating to autism, Evaleen has developed many programs to train others with the most current thinking around autism in an effort to remove the immense stigma attached to autism. She believes there must be an arena for an open, frank, and honest discussion around autism with Autistic people at its very core. AUsome Training is a starting point for this.
