Attending the 2nd National Autism Conference hosted by Health Canada and PHAC virtually today... where are my #actuallyautistic people at? I've yet to see a single person who is Autistic in this conference show themselves. That's a problem.
Folks have asked me "What have you been up to since the Jim Munson and Ginette Munson Autism Leadership Award?" Government appointments to committees is one. Winning bursaries is another. Hiding in library ranges is a favorite passtime. It appears I didn't slow down.
On March 10th, I was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal for 15 years of advocacy to improve the lives of those of us living with ASD and pushing for change in our country. This month I am heading to Ottawa for CALS! Autism Alliance of Canada Jim Munson #AutismAcceptanceMonth
The last month has been fantastic! I was in Ottawa #CALS2025 doing 2 panels and award ceremony for Jim Munson Autism Leadership Award. Stranded in Toronto. Big Bruce in Morden. Airplanes in Brandon. I have been all over the place lately. Next stop convocation! #IamBU
This has been a busy week for me as I crossed the stage to obtain my Bachelor's of Education degree from Brandon University! To say it's been a journey is an understatement but I look forward to what the future holds. Next stop teaching in my own classroom!
"Whitney where are you heading off to next?" Me: I am heading west in 2026! Jim Munson Autism Alliance of Canada
