During this talk, Dr. Mostafavi shared her personal experiences, which were both enlightening and deeply impactful. She provided a detailed explanation of profound autism, offering insights that significantly broadened my understanding. This was my first exposure to the concept of profound autism and its far-reaching effects.
Two points that stood out to me were the concept of "glass children" and the phrase "I am because we are." I hope to deepen my understanding of these ideas in the future and aspire to contribute, even in small ways, to this important cause.
