NOTE: Due to a last minute issue, Elsbeth and I have rescheduled this to Monday May 25th at 7pm. We apologize for the change.

Elsbeth and I enjoyed our discussion on May 7th so much, that we thought we’d do it again. There is so much we can talk about, but we definitely want to hear from parents and professionals what questions you would like us to talk about.

We will have the video from the last session up shortly, and I’ll be breaking it up into short question sessions as well as the full chat.

Sometimes it helps to talk through the challenges you face with your children with those who have had similar experiences. On May 25th 2020 at 7:00pm, join myself and Elsbeth Dodman as we present an interactive virtual Ask Autistics session. We too are experiencing this massive change and trying to navigate it in our own lives.

Elsbeth Dodman lives in London Ontario with her family and 2 cats. She graduated from Fanshawe’s Autism Behavioural Sciences course and has an honours degree with UTM and Sheridan College for Fine Arts and Anthropology.
