Presentation given by The Student-to-Student Autism Connection, an Autism advocacy group from The Friendship Network for Children.
The Student-to-Student Autism Connection (SAC) was created four years ago with the guidance of long time Worcester county resident and founder of the Friendship
Network Nancy Swanberg. The SAC includes both "neurotypical" and Autistic high school students from the local community. Their mission is to decrease bullying and mistreatment of people with Autism and Aspergers by raising awareness and acceptance. Together the teens have created dynamic and informative presentations that offer heart felt personal experiences of bullying, misunderstandings, sensory overload and more.
