Our call for proposals is still open for our 2027 Annual Autism Conference!

We're looking for engaging, practical, and meaningful presentations- and we'd love to hear from you! We welcome proposals on a wide range of topics impacting Autistic individuals, families, professionals, and communities across the lifespan.

In addition to the wide variety of topics we feature each year, we'd love to expand our offerings focused on Autistic adults and the transition into adulthood. Some ideas might include:
-Navigating accommodations at home, work, or in the community
-Masking, burnout, and authentic self-advocacy
-Executive functioning and everyday life skills
-Technology, tools, and "life hacks" that support greater independence
-Employment, workplace success, and accommodations
-Community, self-advocacy, and navigating adult services
-Relationships, community connection, and belonging

If you have knowledge, lived experience, strategies, or innovative ideas that could support the Autism community, we encourage you to submit a proposal and be part of this year's conference.

Join us at this year's INTEGRAL Conference for "Addressing Social Stigma" presented by Soety Jensen.

This session explores how Autism-related stigma is rooted in systems, not individuals. It emphasizes three key strategies: from "fixing people" to transforming polices and institutions; normalizing neurodiversity through authentic representation and inclusive policy; and redesigning environments to reduce barriers rather than forcing conformity.

Join us at this year's INTEGRAL Conference for "Stronger Together: From Ideas to Action", presented by Yvonne Spicer and Theresa Somerton, the co-founders of Lifetime Abilities- a Canadian organization that delivers keynotes and workshops built on one philosophy: working with - not for - people who require support.

Yvonne and Theresa will share a simple five-step ideas-to-action model anyone can use to identify what matters, plan one small action, and follow through- together, to help Autistic adults and allies turn good ideas into real change.

Halloween doesn't have to look a certain way to be meaningful. 🎃💛

Your child doesn't have to wear a costume. They don't have to say "trick-or-treat". They don't have to carve a pumpkin, visit every house, or participate in traditions that don't work for them.

From visual supports and rehearsal trick-or-treating to sensory-friendly costumes, alternative celebrations, and knowing when it's okay to simply skip something- our latest blog post is all about making Halloween work for your child, not making your child work for Halloween.
