Want to learn how to make your library a more naturally accommodating space for autistic and neurodivergent staff and patrons? In this session, we will spend time seeding self compassion while learning about neurodivergent needs through fictional vignettes, personal reflection, and creative expression. You’ll walk away with a handout on Neurodiversity-Affirming Practices for Libraries and plenty of seeds for compassion towards all library workers and patrons. The session will employ multiple, optional anonymous polls, and attendees are encouraged to have paper and a pen or pencil at hand.
