Autism Anglia is a charity that supports autistic adults, children and their families. The charity is passionate about increasing understanding of autism in the community as well as providing expert advice.

Autism Anglia holds a conference every year to help autistic people or those that know or work alongside them, with practical advice and guidance from autism specialists.

The charity has a variety of expert speakers to cover a wide range of topics from tackling discrimination to bridging the gap between education and employment. The two key-note speakers, Dean Beadle and Alex Manners, are widely known public speakers who will be sharing knowledge from an autistic perspective.

Dean Beadle is an autistic speaker, trainer and singer. He has toured the UK for over fourteen years sharing his experiences of being autistic. He has also delivered keynotes in Ireland, Denmark, Belgium and Germany as well as undertaking four seminar tours of Australia and New Zealand. Through his humorous and insightful speeches Dean outlines his positive outlook on being autistic, and challenges negative public attitudes. In 2011 Dean’s work was brought to a wider audience, as a clip of one of his speeches was viewed globally on YouTube.
