A hybrid presentation hosted by AAUW Stanwood Camano. Presented by Lei Wiley-Mydske, coordinator of the Ed Wiley Autism Acceptance Library. Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one “right” way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.
