As part of Autism Acceptance Month, The Circle at Albion is hosting an open and honest event with autistic speaker Jack Donnelly.

Jack shares his lived experience of autism to help build understanding, challenge misconceptions, and promote genuine inclusion. This is a chance to hear directly from an autistic voice about what autism really is—and what meaningful support looks like in everyday life.

Together, we will explore:

• What autism actually is

• The experience of receiving a late diagnosis

• Missed signs of autism growing up

• Autism in the workplace

• How we can better support autistic people

• Creating understanding and inclusion in our communities

This event is designed to be accessible, welcoming, and grounded in real experience. Whether you are autistic yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply want to learn more, you are very welcome.
