An #Autscape2025 highlight:

On Wednesday 6th August 2025 Zuzanna Makowska will be presenting her talk entitled “Inner Autistic Space – Making Room for Feeling”.

“As autistic people, we often focus on fascinating objects, activities, and knowledge. But are we as interesting to ourselves if we aren’t our own passion? What about feeling ourselves?
Many autistic individuals struggle with sensing their bodies, states of mind, or emotions for various reasons, many of which are linked to living as a minority.
This lecture will provide insight into why we may have difficulties with feeling, why it may be important and useful, and what we can do to improve it in order to keep ourselves healthy and happier in our own, inner autistic spaces. Additionally, we’ll explore what we can teach our autistic children to help raise them into healthy, self-aware autistic adults.”

Autscape is an autistic-led, autistic-run residential event running from 4th to 7th August 2025 at The Hayes Conference Centre in Derbyshire.
