Description

BUY TICKETS

There’s been an increasing awareness in American culture of autism and what it’s like to be a person on the spectrum. Yet most of that discussion focuses on the experience of men, leaving unheard the voices of women. Join Caveat and the autism news magazine Spectrum for three talks on dating, employment and race, all given by women on the spectrum.

Flying University is a re-education in hidden histories. This talk series is named after the underground university in Russian-occupied Poland that taught subjects banned by the state-run schools. This rebel organization also educated women, who were barred from attending the official university, including Marie Curie. In that spirit, each Flying University talk highlights a piece of history that has been “conveniently forgotten”. Lets set the record straight.

Doors 6:30pm, show 7:00pm.
Tickets: $15 adv/ $20 door.

This month’s talks:

Morenike Gowa Onaiwu – The intersection of autism and race

Sara Luterman – Employment on the spectrum

Lindsey Nebeker – Dating on the spectrum

SPEAKER BIOS:

Morénike Giwa Onaiwu is a mom, community advocate and writer. An autistic woman of color in a multicultural and neuro-atypical family, Morénike is heavily involved in various social justice activism endeavors including HIV-related activism, disability rights, research, gender and racial justice and promoting acceptance, inclusion and neurodiversity. She considers her family, especially her children, to be her greatest accomplishment.

Sara Luterman is the founder and editor of NOS magazine, the first professional-quality news and culture commentary by and for members of the neurodiversity community. For the past two years, Sara worked as a communications professional at the Association for University Centers on Disabilities. Recently, she quit to try to make NOS Magazine everything she knows it can be. You can find her work outside NOS Magazine in The Guardian, The Thinking Person’s Guide to Autism, and Slate.

Lindsey Nebeker a musician, photographer, and disability rights advocate. She was born in Tokyo, Japan and received her autism diagnosis at age Two. For over a decade, Lindsey has been an outspoken advocate for the sexual rights of people with disabilities. Also, as a sibling to an autistic adult with higher support needs, she is strongly focused on the message of presuming competence for all people regardless of their labels. Lindsey has appeared in Glamour, MTV, Good Morning America, NPR, and the Emmy-nominated documentary Autism in Love.
