dc.description.abstractThis Meet-Up aims to support the neurodiverse communities at CHI and broaden our examination of our practices, with the goal of fostering neuro-affirming environments both within and outside academia. Following our Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting at CHI last year, we aim to further establish a sense of community, continuity, and tradition at CHI and continue these discussions in the long term. We build on our existing resources and community from this SIG and seek to continue extending it in future years, welcoming participants of any neurotype to join us in this endeavour. We focus on shared strategies, creating infrastructure, and providing access to information through documentation. We will discuss how different actors at micro (individual), meso (community), and macro (structural) levels can help distribute access labour through a World Café-style discussion, followed by a document of resources for the community to access.en
dc.description.sponsorshipThe organisers thank the members of the community who contributed to the discussion and ideas explored at the SIG [70] and at this Meet-Up, as well as the organisers of last year's SIG who have allowed us to continue this important conversation, including: Ashlee Milton, Rua M. Williams, Cathy Holloway, Tessa Eagle, Dena Al Thani, and Hwajung Hong. We would also like to acknowledge Susan Dray for her input and assistance.
