💬Au-Some Conference

Advocacy, Autism, Events

Autism Canada is proud to present this year’s annual Au-Some Conference on October 26, 2024 from 10 AM – 3 PM EDT, during Autism Acceptance Month. The Au-Some Conference is the only Canadian conference in which all of the presentations are created and delivered by neurodivergent individuals, sharing their lived experiences and enriching the lives of everyone in attendance.

It is a day for people to learn about the diversity of the Autism Spectrum and where, together, we will create an inclusive environment for sharing successes and for creating acceptance for those on the spectrum, caregivers and communities.

Now in its 8th year, the Au-Some Conference is a free, national conference presented virtually to allow us to bring it to hundreds of people in every region of Canada.
