Join us for a virtual reading group as we dive into "We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation" by Eric Garcia.
The book uses a reporter's eye and an insider's perspective to show what it's like to be autistic in America, aiming to shift the conversation from misunderstanding to acceptance. Whether you've read the book or not, you're welcome to join the discussion. This is a great opportunity to explore the topics in the book and prepare for Garcia's in-person lecture on November 6th.
Space is limited. Please RSVP early to save your spot.
Learn more about the book from Garcia's NPR Interview or his website.
