Uniquely Human - Extending our Book Study on Humanizing Autism
Recently, we came together for a book study as unique as the book's title…
Uniquely Human author Barry Prizant saw a world that pathologized, shamed, and reduced autistic people to problem behaviors that the system was desperate to eradicate. He wrote this book in response, to share the rich and beautiful ways that autistic people express their humanity, and to offer compassionate, affirming strategies to elevate strengths, not to suppress problems.
After a huge turnout and incredibly passionate participation, we are offering a spring extension to the original book study, focusing on following Dr. Barry Prizant's podcast which is released every two weeks. We'll form our own asynchronous sharing and reviewing community on Schoology. Five asynchronous modules following the biweekly podcasts during April and May.
You do NOT need to have participated in the previous book study to join!
FORMAT: Asynchronous online learning
DATES: Five asynchronous modules: 4/1/26, 4/15/26, 4/29/26, 5/13/26, 5/27/26
