The Autism Summit
Research, care, and lived experience at one table.
The science of autism is moving faster than the systems around it. This summit seats researchers, clinicians, families, advocates, founders, and funders together to close the distance between discovery, diagnosis, and daily life, with lived experience treated as expertise rather than testimony.
In the room
Researchers, clinicians, family and self-advocates, founders, philanthropists, and institutional leaders.
On the table
- Biomarkers and earlier, better diagnosis
- Therapeutics and the translational pipeline
- Care models across the lifespan
- Education, employment, and independence
- Technology-enabled support done responsibly
