Neurodivergent Thinking
Addressing Myths and Misconceptions about Autism
Hörsaal 1
Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien
Vortrag
Teaser:
This talk will explore how scientific research can dismantle common stereotypes about autism, fostering a more accurate and inclusive understanding of the condition. By highlighting key findings in neuroscience and psychology, we will challenge outdated notions that paint autism as a homogeneous disorder defined solely by deficits. Instead, we will emphasize the diversity within the autism spectrum, focusing on strengths, individual variability, and the importance of neurodiversity. The talk aims to encourage the application of scientific insights to promote acceptance, reduce stigma, and improve support for autistic individuals in society.
Speakers:
Assoz. Prof. Dr. Giorgia Silani is Deputy Head of the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology (Faculty of Psychology) and heads the Clinical Social Neuroscience Unit.
Alice Laciny, PhD works at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). Her work focuses on the influence of parasites on the morphology of ant hosts.
