This is your invitation to be a part of starting a Registered Student Organization (RSO) for Autistic students at University of Washington *Group name TBD*
Zack Siddeek, MSW candidate at UW School of Social Work and Paige Hulsey, undergraduate senior in the School of Public Health have begun work to create an RSO for us autistic students. We now need your participation and support! Email us if you are interested.
Please join us for an RSO planning session. We will work on our group constitution and choose a name for the group. Please complete this doodle poll to relay your availability: http://doodle.com/poll/vgkwnh73kyssthyx
Often, autism groups are geared toward families of diagnosed children or therapies and techniques to enable us to blend in. These things will not be the focus here. This group is a place to call our own. We have ideas about a two-pronged group. One arm to serve as a caucus for those of us on the autism spectrum (autism, ASD, Asperger’s, PDD-NOS, sensory processing, self-diagnosis, or similar). The other arm to also include spectrum kin and allies for activism efforts. Please join us!
Thank you and we look forward to coming together,
Zack Siddeek zsiddeek@uw.edu and Paige Hulsey phulsey@uw.edu
