Millie Schulz - Autistic Journeys: Voices and Perspectives

Autistic Journeys: Voices & Perspectives – Kickoff with Millie Schulz

Join us for the kickoff of Autism Edmonton’s “Autistic Journeys: Voices & Perspectives” series with Millie Schulz, a non-binary, Autistic, and ADHD self-advocate. Millie will share their inspiring journey of self-advocacy, creativity, and activism, offering insights into the lived experiences of neurodivergent individuals.

Millie is an accomplished artist specializing in watercolor and photography, a passionate music lover and DJ, and a dedicated harm reduction worker and peer support volunteer. They were recently selected as one of the Autistic Interviewers on CBC TV’s The Assembly and have shared their perspective on Autistic culture through their YouTube channel (@cherrymintrose) and podcast appearances, including The Other Autism.

In addition to their advocacy work, Millie has successfully navigated a human rights case at the BC Human Rights Tribunal related to accessibility for disabled people. They bring decades of experience supporting individuals with substance use challenges, including work at Victoria’s first federal Supervised Consumption Site and Safer Supply Clinic.

This session is perfect for educators, parents, professionals, and anyone interested in hearing authentic Autistic voices and learning about neurodiversity, self-advocacy, and inclusive practices.

This session is brought to you by Autism Edmonton and the Sinneave Family Foundation.
