1 minute read

This is the 11th of 12 sessions in Penn State University’s autism conference Understanding Autism through the Actually Autistic Lens. It was live-streamed on October 21, 2021.

Watch Forget Behavior: Understanding Autistic Cognition

Speaker: Oswin Latimer

“When I first discovered I was an Autistic person, my singular focus was to find a way to make life better for people like me and for children like my children. In the years that followed, it became clear to me that the only way to make that happen was to fundamentally shift the way we talk about autism and discuss what autism is.”
