ABOUT THE SHOW

Please note this session is currently only open for school bookings. General Public tickets will be available from 05 AUG.

Join award-winning author Kate Foster as she shares what navigating everyday life as an autistic person is like and how her childhood informed the creation of her new verse novel. Touching on both the struggles and the glimmers, Kate discusses how a single voice has the power to change many lives.

This event includes a Q&A session at the end.

Supported by The University of Queensland.
