Hearing from Former Students

 A blast from last semester

Hey Hari,

I just heard your voice 'in the wild' and it reminded me of you. I hope you're doing well.


I took your class last semester and I wanted to thank you again for how great it was -- it really helped put me in touch with my own autism, which I'm only realizing much later. It was really eye-opening and I owe you that.

Text on image says: 

- Men are 4x more likely to be diagnosed with ASD than women

- the true ration is very different. Women with autism tend to present in ways unlike men, but the modern diagnostic model of autism is based on males.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

What we learned today

• There are many new technologies that are made to assist non-speaking autistics (such as text to speech programs)
• Finding meaningful work in the workforce as a person on the spectrum is sometimes hard but its still achievable!
• Being patient with finding work as someone on the spectrum is key!
