❗️The Autscape 2026 Call for Proposals is open just for ten more days, until 1st of May.

Do you have something you would like to share with an autistic audience?

Autscape is a unique event run by and for autistic people, designed to prioritise accessibility and meaningful engagement, while also welcoming non-autistic participants. Presenting at an Autscape event means reaching a thoughtful, engaged community with a long history, sharing knowledge that directly matters, and contributing to discourses shaped by lived experience.

🔅Theme: Autism and Neurodiversity in Society

This year we focus on how autistic and other neurodivergent people interact with, shape, and are affected by wider society, through systems, culture, or community. The theme is broad, so a wide range of perspectives is welcome.

A variety of formats, such as talks, workshops, discussions, creative sessions and physical activities are all encouraged.
