Re•Storying Autism is an international project with its institutional home at Brandon University, in the land currently known as Brandon, Manitoba. Since COVID-19, we have been holding research workshops online and creatively experimenting with access. Check out the zines and videos made online with Autistic and neurodivergent storyteller participants across Canada, the UK and Aotearoa under our Gallery page. To join us, see our Events page.
