Neurodivergent Consent

Autism, Communication, and Non-Monogamy

Saturday, August 22nd

8:30 am

Room: Maroon Bells

Consent conversations often rely on subtle social cues and unspoken expectations—but not everyone interprets those cues in the same way. This workshop explores how autistic and neurodivergent communication styles intersect with negotiation and consent practices in non-monogamy.

Participants will examine how differences in communication, sensory processing, and social interpretation can affect negotiation. Through presentation, guided discussion, and practical examples, attendees will explore ways to make consent conversations clearer and more explicit. Participants will leave with practical communication tools that support more inclusive and effective consent practices.

Gloria Jackson-Nefertiti is a workshop presenter and community discussion facilitator who teaches about shame, consent, neurodivergence, and intersectionality. Her work explores how cultural messages about sexuality, identity, and communication shape people’s experiences. As a late-diagnosed autistic woman, Gloria brings both lived experience and thoughtful dialogue to conversations about consent, communication, and community care. Her workshops invite participants to reflect on their experiences, challenge internalized stigma, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
