Autism Acceptance Week
NCI and DCU are both designated Autism Friendly Higher Education Institutions and are committed to the principles underlying that status. Together, we are hosting a joint Autism Acceptance Week, including a series of public-facing events to promote autism acceptance. All events are online and free to attend, but registration is required.
Seeing the Unseen is an Icelandic documentary, sharing the stories of 17 autistic women. Register for Wednesday’s panel discussion (which includes Elín Sigurðadóttir, one of the women featured in the film, alongside Stefanie Preissner and Aoife Dooley) to receive a viewing link and password. Either watch it at your own convenience (23-30 April) or share the experience by joining our #WatchParty 7-8.45pm on Tuesday 26 April - simply follow the hashtag on Twitter or follow @NCIRL or @DCUautism.
