National Autism Conference

Join AsIAm, Ireland’s Autism Charity, for our 2026 National Autism Conference, proudly sponsored by PTSB - a landmark event bringing together Autistic people, families, professionals, policymakers and allies to shape a more inclusive future.

Building on our commitment to a society where every Autistic person is accepted “as they are” – equal, valued and respected – this year’s conference will explore what it truly means to create an Autistic affirming society in Ireland today.

Across Ireland, Autistic people continue to face barriers in accessing appropriate supports, exercising their rights and having their identities recognised and respected. This conference will provide a space to examine these challenges, share lived experiences and explore practical solutions across policy, services and community life.

Through a series of keynote sessions, panel discussions and interactive workshops, we will focus on three core themes:‍

Rights – advancing equality, autonomy and meaningful participation in society

‍Services – improving access, quality and responsiveness across education, health and community supports

‍Identity – recognising and affirming Autistic identity, voice and lived experience
