Scottish Autism’s Online Conference, ‘Behind the Mask’, is for professionals, autistic people and their families, as well as those with an interest in autism.

The conference takes place on 12th May 2022 and you can join us for the conference live or purchase an ‘On Demand’ option where you can watch the conference back at a time that suits you.

This virtual conference aims to understand the pressures, stresses and consequences that autistic people feel “fitting in”, and in accessing support. We will explore the ways that professionals can recognise the lived experience of autistic people; change practitioner behaviour to better accommodate autistic needs; and create safe spaces where autistic people can be themselves.

We will ask how professionals and those they support can exchange perspectives through meaningful dialogue, promote respectful interactions and relations, and create a more positive experience of services and society more widely.

We are striving to make our conference as accessible and inclusive as possible. Our Pay What You Can scheme is open to autistic people and their families only, allowing them to choose what they pay to attend the conference.
