Announcing #OnlineAutscape2025 “More Autistic Joy”: Fri 7th – Sun 9th February 2025, Zoom + Discord
A follow-up to #Autscape2024 “Autistic Joy”, this £20 online event reprises that theme. If you wish you'd been there last year, you don't want to miss this one! But we will also have plenty of new things for those who were there.
Among many other things, we will have a performance by the great autistic stand-up poet Kate Fox, a presentation by Joanna Ławicka on “The joy of autistic parenting”, a presentation on “Empowering Autistic Youth” by three young presenters from Malta, and the online version of our famed Sparklies in the Dark activity, a celebration of true autistic joy.
We will be using Zoom webinars to broadcast the presentations. In addition, there will be a space to socialise and organise participant-led activities on Discord.
The schedule is still in flux, but the preliminary schedule can now be seen here:
https://www.autscape.org/2025/programme/schedonline
Registration will remain open until the event starts:
https://www.autscape.org/2025/registration/
Note: Autscape is led and run entirely by autistic or otherwise neurodivergent volunteers; nobody is getting paid for this! Autscape is a small UK Registered Charity and all the money raised goes into running our events. Your online registration will help support Autscape and keep fees for future in-person events as low as possible (in-person venues have become a lot more expensive since the pandemic).
If you could help us out by boosting this and spreading the word, we would be very grateful. Thanks :)

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.
Watch at: https://youtu.be/8MmxsJtAziU
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. :-)
