Autism & LGBTQIA+ Identities

Did you know that autistic individuals are more likely to identify as LGBTQIA+ than the general population? This intersection of neurodivergence and diverse gender and sexual identities is vital to understand—whether you're a parent, educator, clinician, or ally.

Join us for an insightful discussion where we’ll explore:

The connection between autism and LGBTQIA+ identities – Why neurodivergent communities show greater diversity in gender and sexuality.
Sexuality & autism – Understanding attraction, orientation, and societal perceptions.
Gender identity & expression – How autistic people may experience and navigate gender differently.
The importance of pronouns & inclusive language – Practical ways to respect and affirm identity.

This session isn’t just about awareness—it’s about creating safer, more affirming spaces for autistic LGBTQIA+ individuals. Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking to learn, this webinar will deepen your understanding and provide actionable tools for inclusion.
