Autscape 2025:
“Evolving Autistic Space”
Mon 4th – Thu 7th Aug 2025
The Hayes, Swanwick, Derbyshire

► Registration now open
► Proposals now open

Welcome

Autscape is a conference with a difference. Rather than talking to a primarily non-autistic audience about autism, this conference is specifically by and for autistic people. Some of it isn't even about autism at all! Non-autistic people are also welcome, but the environment and content of the event are centred around autistic people’s needs, interests and sensitivities.

Autscape lasts three days in which there are workshops, leisure activities, social opportunities, and more, all specifically oriented to the needs and preferences of autistic people.

All the money Autscape raises goes into running the best possible Autscape conference for participants and making Autscape a stronger organisation for the future. Please consider donating to help keep Europe's first autistic-run conference going and reduce participant fees!

16 Jan 2025 If you want to know what it's like to be at Autscape, here's a video to watch! Autscape participant Jen “The Rainbow” Hart from the Netherlands has made a great half-hour video relating her experience attending Autscape in person for the first time. (Content warning: brief discussion of suicidal thoughts from 3:50 to 4:46.) Note: this video was entirely unsolicited and we had no hand in its making. In fact we only just found out about it, two months after it went live. Please do give Jen's channel a subscribe for us, though. :-)
