CLASS DESCRIPTION
Gloria Jackson-Nefertiti was diagnosed as autistic late in life (in 2019, six months before turning 63). This helped her to better understand herself and why she related to friends and romantic partners the ways she did.
In "Autism & Consent," Gloria inquires into the following questions:
- What does consent mean for you, as an autistic person?
- Are you seen as childlike and non-sexual, unable to consent?
- Do you frequently find yourself in situations you never consented to? Do you feel forced to agree to these situations?
- Are there people in your life who won't take "no" for an answer?
- Do you have poor personal boundaries?
By promoting open communication and consent in relationships or encounters, Gloria feels more confident in exploring her own desires and speaking up for herself, something that she wants for the participants of "Autism & Consent."
PRESENTER
Gloria Jackson-Nefertiti (she/her/hers) is a breast cancer survivor, whose 2013 diagnosis provided the catalyst for her to come out as bisexual, sex-positive, and polyamorous (because that was when she realized just how short life is). She is also a member of the Center for Sex Positive Culture (CSPC) in Seattle, WA, where she serves as a board member, and co-host for both their Neurodivergence and Nonmonogamy Discussion Groups.
She has been a panelist, frequent podcast guest, and a workshop presenter since 2017, beginning with the very first workshop she created, "Transcending Shame."
Gloria is currently hard at work on her memoir entitled, "A Different Drum: A Black, Autistic, Polyamorous, Mentally Ill, Former Fundamentalist Christian/Cult Member and Breast Cancer Survivor WHO JUST WANTS TO FIT IN." She lives in Seattle, WA.
