SUMMARY:Autistics in the Library: How Libraries Can More Effectively Serve Patrons and Employees on the Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:As the autistic population continues to grow and become more 
 visible across the lifespan\, it’s important that libraries of all types 
 know how to effectively serve patrons on the autism spectrum\, foster a 
 neurodiverse profession by encouraging autistics to consider librarianship 
 as a career\, and successfully employ them as staff. This webinar will 
 provide attendees with a mix of practical strategies and relevant anecdotes 
 from an autistic librarian. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions 
 and share any helpful insights they may have on the topic.\n\nSpeaker Bio:

 Professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Library. He has an 
 MSLIS from Simmons College and a BA in Spanish and Gender Studies from Elon
