This multi-session support group is designed for Autistic women (40-60) looking to build an ongoing connection with a small community of other women. This support group also gives women an opportunity to voice their concerns and frustrations and lets them acknowledge hard-won and unexpected victories. Common topics of discussion are:
Masking/camouflaging
Sensory sensitivities/overloads
Relationships
Self-care
Empathy
This group is for autistic adults who are also nonbinary, trans, and/or questioning. This group is not for folks who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth (cisgender). You may enjoy this group if you feel the need or desire for community to discuss issues relating to neurodiversity and gender identity. We will both celebrate successes and support each other through difficulties. This multi-session support group meets for 8 sessions, every other week.

As organizations compete for early career talent, college students and recent graduates with disabilities remain one of the most overlooked talent pools. Many employers are eager to hire this emerging workforce but struggle to build meaningful campus connections, create accessible recruiting experiences, and retain new hires once they join the organization.
Drawing on insights from NOD research, this session explores practical strategies for strengthening disability-inclusive recruiting and creating workplace cultures where early career talent can thrive.
SPEAKERS:
• Lorena Chelaru | Human Resources & Operations Manager, NOD
• Margaret Ling | Senior Partnerships Manager, NOD
SESSION FOCUS WILL EXPLORE:
• Why students with disabilities remain an underutilized source of early career talent
• Practical ways to create more accessible recruiting, interviewing, and internship experiences
Closed captions will be available via Zoom.
