About this event

Wired Our Own Way, an anthology of Irish autistic voices. The beautiful Smock Alley will be the backdrop for this powerful conversation about autism, identity and belonging in contemporary Ireland.

This panel talk will centre around Niamh Garvey’s bestselling book ‘Wired our Own Way - An Anthology of Irish Autistic Voices’. The anthology is a collection of personal essays by Irish autistic adults, exploring the impact of diagnosis and diverse experiences.

Jen O’Connor, also known as Jen Poyntz will moderate the panel discussion. Panellists include the author Niamh Garvey, Irish Indian writer and performer Chandrika Narayanan Mohan and Adam Harris, Founder and CEO of AsIAm Ireland’s Autism Charity.

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
