Autism & Consent with Gloria Jackson-Nefertiti

What does enthusiastic consent look like for autistic folks?

If you’ve ever struggled to express your needs, hold boundaries, or felt misunderstood during consent conversations; you’re not alone.

Join us for "Autism and Consent" - a workshop designed for autistic people (and those who love us!) to unlearn people-pleasing, and build relationships rooted in mutual respect and real connection.

Consent isn’t "one-size-fits-all" - especially if you’re autistic. Join us to explore how neurodivergence impacts boundaries, negotiation, and connection. In this affirming, neurodivergent-centered space, we’ll explore how to express boundaries and desires with clarity and confidence. Learn tools to self-advocate, communicate your needs, and navigate power dynamics in ways that feel safe, clear, and real, without having to pretend to be someone you’re not.

The class will be held on Zoom. The waiting room opens 15 minutes early at 6:45PM. Instruction begins at 7PM.
