Introduction to the world of autism

Hello, dear fellow citizens!

I’ve been lucky enough to be allowed to share a project with you here (thanks, mods!) that might be relevant to someone – or maybe someone knows someone…

Anyway, I just want to say that the association Autisme Ungdom holds a series of presentations around the country during October and November, which are intended for newly diagnosed autists (or autists who lack more basic insight into their diagnosis). The presentations are held in collaboration with a specialist from the respective area in the country, who will talk a little about autism in general, before a presenter from AU (e.g. me!) takes over and talks about his own experience with the diagnosis.

The target group is young, newly diagnosed autists aged 13-35. If you are older than 35, you can still participate in a planned online presentation! You do not have to be a member of Autism Ungdom to participate, nor do you have to document your diagnosis or when you got it. More information can be found incl. FAQ, as well as dates and registration here: https://www.autismeungdom.dk/introduktion-til-autismens-verden

Personally, I am involved in the project because it was something I could have needed myself when I was a teenager and had just been diagnosed. I think it was so hard to navigate, especially emotionally. The hope is to make things a little easier for others, and perhaps make the road to self-acceptance and understanding less long and bumpy
