Lincoln University College, Malaysia organised the Brown Bag Seminar Series on April 30, 2025 (via online mode), for Strengthening International Collaboration supporting the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals 2030, which is completely free to all. The topic of the seminar was “An Overview of Neurodiversity in Higher Education”. Dr. Mitu De, Associate Professor, Department of Botany, Gurudas College, Kolkata, India, and a mother of an 18-year-old young adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), delivered a lecture at the event.
Autism aligns with several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on health, education, inclusion, and economic growth. Specifically, it connects to SDG 3 (good health and well-being), SDG 4 (quality education), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), SDG 10 (reducing inequalities), and SDG 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions).
