Join us for a powerful Divergent Discussion with Eric Garcia, journalist and author of We’re Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation.

In his groundbreaking book, Eric dismantles the myths and misconceptions that have long shaped society’s understanding of autism. Drawing from his own experiences as an autistic Latino journalist, he challenges stereotypes, exposes systemic barriers in education, healthcare, and policy, and amplifies the diverse voices of autistic people often left unheard.

This conversation will explore autism not as something to “fix,” but as an identity to embrace. Eric brings both a reporter’s sharp eye and an insider’s lived perspective, reminding us that autistic people deserve to be seen, supported, and celebrated on their own terms.

✨ Whether you’re autistic, a parent, an ally, or simply curious to learn, this session will leave you with a richer, more authentic understanding of the autistic experience.
