In August 2025, the #ArtificialIntelligence and the Rights of #Autistic People ( #AIRA) project presented a workshop at the #Autscape conference, discussing advocacy topics with the audience of autistic people from the UK and other countries.

I'll have to see if I can find any notes for this workshop, but there are 64(!) slides for it on the #Autscape site.
It seems worth sharing some bullet points…

Jigsaw puzzle of french church windows
This has to be one of the hardest jigsaw puzzles I've ever done because so many pieces were almost identical - there must have been six different people contributing at various points; a remarkably social activity!
I hope I can go next year, I'm taking my gems one...
#Autscape 2025
Just back from our first #Autscape and if you are an autistic person hesitating over going, I’d say do it.
It really is true that it’s an entirely unique environment. Everyone was so welcoming, the grounds are lovely and peaceful, there were many events for all different tastes.

I loved making this collage at #autscape online today.
I used an old clothes catalogue, an ancient A-Z & graph paper.
Abstract shapes would work too but mountains & a lake appeared!
Hope today brings creativity for you to enjoy too.

I was introduced to the concept of conflicting access needs at #Autscape, and it's been in my head ever since.
Whenever I hear someone touting something as "100% accessible" now, I think they haven't really understood what accessibility means.
#Autscape2024 “Autistic Joy” is the 20th #Autscape autistic-led conference/retreat.
Provisional main programme schedule now available: www.autscape.org/2024/program...
Registration is open! www.autscape.org/2024/registr...
