Because much of the current clinical and scholarly information around autism is deficit-based, limited, and some, even completely inaccurate, much of the clinical support is also misguided and unintentionally harmful. However, when we know better, we do better! Explore how to be an ally and foster genuine autistic happiness, health and, flourishing across the lifespan for our autistic selves, family, friends, and fellow humans.

About the Presenter:

Angela Marx, PhD, is a licensed psychologist in Wisconsin. She has been joining with children, adolescents, adults, and families in various roles and places for more than half her life and spent 12 years in academia studying and training in clinical psychology. Although she considers herself a scientist and uses research and knowledge, she also knows that there is so much more that we do not yet know and focuses on each person’s experiences to join and learn with them. Dr. Marx also has extensive practical and research experience with and provides clinical consultation to caregivers and direct support professionals. Dr. Marx has a private practice, Place of Mind LLC, that specializes in psychological assessment and mental health and wellness with neurodivergent children, adolescents, and adults to help them discover and define who they are and find, or create, the places where they belong and flourish.
