Our conferences.
Think Autism is our conference program. It has its own site and its own name.
Every edition
since 2023.
Each one with its theme, its city and its talks.

Autism is Trending. Now do something about it.
A keynote, a fireside on why autism went mainstream while the systems did not, and panels on burnout as a policy failure, identity and intersectionality, autistic entrepreneurs and the economy, and neuroaffirming practice.

More about 2023
The first one, in our signature amphitheatre. The point was never a single day of recognition. It was what happens in ordinary systems, on ordinary days, when autistic people are present. Panels across diagnosis, health practice and entrepreneurship. Everything that came after started here.
