Hear From Each Other - Suzi Gerb - October 29th

Join us at Autism On the Go’s upcoming Hear From Each Other event featuring Suzi Gerb, an AOG Autistic Leader.

What is Hear From Each Other?

Hear From Each Other is an intentionally neuroinclusive space where individuals of all neurotypes—Autistic, Allistic, neurodivergent, neurotypical, and more—can come together to share and listen in a safe, welcoming environment. Each month, we feature speakers who identify as Autistic or on the spectrum, sharing their personal stories and experiences.

This event offers a unique opportunity to connect, understand, and celebrate the beauty of diverse neurotypes working together. Don’t miss out on this chance to be part of a community that values every voice!

We meet virtually on the last Tuesday of every month at 7pm.

Register today and be part of an inspiring experience! We look forward to seeing you there.
