Young Women Living with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Wednesday, 14 October 2015 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

This week’s informative program explored the perspectives of two radical young women living with Autism. The show looked at how diagnosis, perceptions and stigma have shaped their lived experiences and mental health.  The show also showcased the strength and resilience of young people in reclaiming identity and living outside diagnosis.

Challenging the mainstream, negative stereotypes of people with a mental illness, Brainwaves actively engages those living with a mental illness as researchers, interviewers, performers and program designers while promoting community mental health awareness.
