Why Autistic adults or their allies might want to purchase this workshop
Understanding the history of autism “cures” isn’t just about the past—it’s about protecting ourselves today. Harmful myths about autism’s causes have shaped decades of coercive treatments, from electric shocks to restrictive diets, and many of these ideas still influence research, therapy, and public attitudes. By learning where these narratives came from and how they persist, you gain tools to recognize and challenge them in modern forms—whether in healthcare, workplaces, or media. This workshop offers knowledge as self-defense, cultural awareness, and advocacy power for Autistic people who want to reclaim the narrative and push back against cure culture.
You might find this workshop useful if…
You want to understand the roots of harmful autism myths and how they still show up today.
You’re tired of cure-focused narratives and want tools to challenge them.
You value knowing the history of Autistic culture as a way to protect yourself and advocate.
