The Autistic Liberation Movement: Education and Training

This programme aims to support Zekwande Mathenjwa, working with other fellow Nonspeaking Autistic advocates to reach various stakeholders in our society to explain autism from a Nonspeaking Autism perspective by Nonspeaking Autistics. In particular this programme will be biased towards visiting underprivileged communities to help them understand the body mind disconnect of living with Autism, de-stigmatise autism and enable families to provide the necessary daily support to the autistics. Members of the public, educators and care-givers will also receive training on how better to engage, support and live with Nonspeaking Autistic from a Nonspeakers’ perspective. To enhance this programme, Zekwande Mathenjwa is engaged in developing training material for this audience.
