All-Ukrainian Online Marathon “Autism: How to Act”

Dedicated to World Autism Awareness Day 🌟
1-4 April 2025 | CPH “Confidence” within the UNICEF project “Hugs For You” with the financial support of the European Union
“…the best way to help a person with autism change for the better is to change ourselves – our attitudes, our behaviour, and the types of support we provide. How to do that? First, BY LISTENING… Ros Blackburn, who speaks more insightfully than practically anyone I know about what it feels like to go through life with autism, often repeats this mantra: “If I do something you don’t understand, you’ve got to keep asking, “Why, why, why?” (from “Uniquely Human. A Different Way of Seeing Autism” by Barry M. Prizant and Tom Fields-Meyer).
