Talks this year

Last year, we hosted a series of panel discussions — but this year, we’re handing the mic to you.

We want to hear about what’s important to you. Whether it’s a personal story, a topic you’re passionate about, or an idea you think needs more space in the world, this is your platform.

In your application, you’ll have the chance to tell us about the talk, presentation, or discussion you’d like to give. Don’t worry if it’s not fully formed — we’re here to support you in shaping your idea and can work with you to prepare, if needed. Talks can last between 20 minutes to 45 minutes. 

Autistic perspectives are powerful, diverse, and deeply needed — and we can’t wait to hear yours.

How to Apply:

Complete the application form below and our team will review submissions and be in touch with the next steps.
