To coincide with World Autism Awareness Day, Marie-Laure Del Vecchio and Naomi Cahen are running an event called Reading Autism, picking out a selection of books they particularly value on the topic.  The event is for autistic people, or those who wonder whether they might be autistic, their loved ones, professionals, and anyone curious to learn more about autism. It aims to create a welcoming space to explore the subject. Doors open 18.30. Event 19.00 – 20.00 Sign up here Marie-Laure is a psychotherapist, speaker, and author specializing in neurodiversity. Naomi Cahen is a Swiss/British designer and author. Autistic herself, she enjoys speaking about books, autism, and neurodiversity.

The rules are simple: bring in your pre-loved English books (as many as you want) and leave with as many second-hand books as you brought in. Bring the books you loved to bits, not the ones that are falling to bits. Starting at noon, ending at 4pm, we will provide simple snacks and beverages.
