What Happens to Autistic Children When They Become Autistic Adults

In this powerful talk by Dr. Kerry Magro, an award-winning professional speaker, author and consultant to Netflix Love on the Spectrum U.S., he will explore the realities of life beyond childhood for individuals on the autism spectrum. Drawing from his own journey and professional expertise, Dr. Magro challenges the myth that autistic children "grow out" of autism, highlighting the ongoing need for support in areas such as education, employment, independent living, relationships, and mental health. He provides insights into the transition to adulthood, the barriers autistic individuals face, and the importance of fostering inclusion and self-advocacy. This talk is essential for parents, educators, employers, and self-advocates seeking to better understand and support autistic individuals throughout their lives.
