INTEGRAL: Adult Autism Conference

media release: INTEGRAL is an autism conference like no other. It puts adults on the autism spectrum front and center, not as a subject for others to discuss, but to come together and exchange perspectives with non-autistic professionals and parents so that everyone can learn from each other. This year’s theme “Stronger Together” will focus on how autistic adults and their allies can build communities and connections that facilitate our ability to create change on the issues that systemically affect autistic people.

INTEGRAL is a hybrid conference, held both virtually and in person at the Goodman Community Center, Madison at 9:30am–4:30pm. There will be three short presentations, each followed by small & large group discussion. Included in your ticket is an INTEGRAL webinar featuring Devon Price (author of Unmasking Autism) on November 6 at 7:00–8:30pm.

Further details (schedule, food info, etc) will be included in a Guidebook to be sent out after registration. Please email us if you need accommodations to make this event accessible.

We have reduced price tickets for people in the autism community for whom attendance is otherwise a financial barrier. To support INTEGRAL’s mission and preserve our ability to continue offering reduced price tickets, consider making a donation at https://autismsouthcentral.org/donate/

We welcome you to join us for a (free) post-conference hangout Saturday evening, also to take place at the Goodman Community Center. Doors will open for this at 5:45pm (a break for dinner will immediately follow the end of the main conference; dinner will not be provided). There will be entertainment and a chance to connect with fellow attendees.

We also invite you to attend our Sunday Social the next day (also free) at the OutReach LGBTQ Community Center (2701 International Ln #101, Madison, WI 53704) from 1:30–6:30pm. This is a casual event with a snacky potluck, games & activities, and more opportunity to hang out.
