Proof Positive: Science and Skills of Happiness for the Autism Community

Happiness is a universal right. Yet, for many, it remains an elusive concept—something often overlooked and seemingly difficult to achieve, especially in the autism community.

Join Taylor Aukes and Hannah Moeller of Balance Autism as they present Proof Positive: science based resources and research rooted in positive psychology.

Proof Positive is a leading non-profit organization dedicated to improving the wellbeing of autistic

people, their families, providers and communities.
