The MacIntyre Autism Special Interest Group is an online meeting that we run two to three times a year. It is a three-hour-long event where we get together to learn from and ask questions to experts in autism, including those who are experts by experience, experts through profession and work or both!
The MacIntyre Autism Special Interest Group is accessible to everyone and is free to attend!
At our next meeting, we will be discussing Mental Health and its intersection with Autism. Two incredible speakers will be in attendance to share their knowledge – more news to come!
