Karen

Karen Sudom speaks to the beauty and challenges of her experiences navigating this crazy yet wonderful world. She began as an Autism specialist and has widened her spectrum of topics to include her lived experience in community discussions, decisions and delivery.

Not just about: Authentic!
Karen doesn't just speak about Autism, but also what it is like to be Autistic. She doesn't just speak about social supports and community inclusion, but also her experiences of delivering, needing and accessing help.

She shares with educators, parent groups, students, churches, businesses, health professionals and other services providers. Karen's work has found her behind the scenes and behind the microphone.

Pre Covid Karen led weekly after school groups for preteens and teens with mainstreamed Autism called ASDreams. She served on the City of Medicine Hat's Advisory Committee on Disability Issues and Social Development Advisory Board. She was active in the city's poverty reduction movement.

Karen's outlook:
Celebrate the small victories because sometimes they grow to size large.

For example, instead of forwarding an appointment confirmation email from my specialist in Calgary, I now have to print it off and hand deliver it to the AISH office downtown. This adds many layers of cost: paper and ink travel my time to deliver another level of AISH administration Unfortunately arriving at the office does not simplify the process. Or personalize it.  Previously  I wrote about ways staff can humanize the experience of needing to access support services. As I was waiting for an appointment, a man went to the counter and asked to see his worker. PAD (person at desk): She isn't available. You can see the walk in worker. Man: When will my worker be available? PAD: I don't know. You need to make an appointment to see her. You can see the walk in worker. Man: How do I make an appointment? PAD: She makes her own appointments. You'
