• Sensory Kits: Available for use in the library or to check out, these kits include stim aids and other tools to enhance comfort during library visits or at home.
• Updated Collections: Books and materials authored by Autistic people, offering neuro-affirming perspectives and valuable insights into neurodiversity.

With the launch of the new programs, AutismTN is hosting a free public presentation, “Introduction to the Autistic Neurotype" on January 18, 2025. This engaging session will explore Autistic experiences and ways to create a more inclusive community.
