What would happen if the autism gene was eliminated from the gene pool? You would have a bunch of people standing around in a cave, chatting and socializing and not getting anything done! When it comes to solving problems, the skill sets people bring to the table are rooted in three different forms of cognition: photo realistic or visual thinking, pattern mathematical, and word verbal thinking. When projects are being designed, people with different ways of thinking have complementary skills.

Drawing on her own extraordinary life experiences, Dr. Grandin will discuss the challenges and opportunities for people like herself on the autism spectrum who think in pictures, championing the cause of neurodiversity: that the world needs all kinds of minds!

Trees grow tall on the edge of a pond

Come to the Humber Arboretum for a creative writing session where nature will be a source of inspiration, writing prompts will direct your thoughts, and your own creative spirit will do the writing.

Humber Arboretum Nature Interpreter Sunflower will guide you through the mindfulness practice of a sit spot inside the Centre for Urban Ecology, after which various prompts and examples will help facilitate your own writing. You will go home with your self-created masterpieces, along with tools and ideas to enhance your creative writing practice. The workshop will run indoors, and no previous writing experience required. Writing supplies and paper will be provided, but if you have your own favourite journal, feel free to bring it with you, along with a lunch. 

Lunch and Learns at the Humber Arboretum’s Centre for Urban Ecology offer free introductions to topics related to gardening, ecology, and sustainability. Bring your lunch and enjoy a casual learning environment overlooking the Arboretum grounds.

This event is free but space is limited - please register in advance through the Arboretum website.
