Lending Library | Organization for Autism Research

Did you know that the Organization for Autism Research has a free lending library of disability-related books? I’m listening to Naoki Higashida’s “Fall Down 7 Times, Get Up 8” on audiobook using my Libby account 🔊📚. I highly recommend it! Access the library here: researchautism.org/lending-libr...

This will be a great seminar. Join the ABCT Autism SIG to learn more about these topics, which autistic self-advocates have highlighted as high priorities for autism research!
