Neurodiversity-affirming practices for library workers and patrons This presentation explores neurodiversity-affirming practices for library workers and patrons. It begins by defining key terminology, and provides statistics and research justification such as the high rate of co-occurring mental health issues among autistic individuals. The presentation then delves into the history and recent use of neurodiversity-affirming principles, focusing on autistic self-advocate Sonny Jane Wise's 11 core principles. These principles are categorized into internal, external, and structural phases, and practical applications within library settings are discussed. The presentation encourages attendees to consider how these principles can positively impact library experiences and address potential challenges.

Two patrons approach me at my work desk, they ask "where is the library section?" I ask "Am I understanding you correctly, that you entered the library and are asking me where the 'library section' is?"
