FARGO — "Anything But Typical," an event meant to connect neurotypical individuals, will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 29, at the downtown Fargo Public Library, 101 4th St. N.

The day will include Q&A panels, all-inclusive activities and conversations, and success stories and resources that will allow certain individuals to grow, thrive in Fargo-Moorhead and elsewhere.
Likely panels will include health providers, parents and guardians, business professionals and educators. All will be moderated.
