Thriving Autistically

Thriving Autistically is a free, online wellbeing event created by and for Autistic adults. Across seven days (4–10 October 2025, Brisbane-AEST), the program brings together more than 36 events led by 38 Autistic volunteer facilitators.

This unique, community-led conference centres lived experience and connection to neurokin through play, peer support, experiential spaces, and discussion. Sessions explore a wide range of wellbeing themes including sensory regulation, self-compassion, storytelling, creative expression, feminism, ageing, true crime, nature connection, and even a synaesthesia-inspired online rave.

Thriving Autistically prioritises accessibility, safety, and inclusion. All sessions are free, online, and not recorded, ensuring participants can engage in ways that feel comfortable. With over 130 Autistic people already signed up to the pre-registration list, the event continues to grow as a safe-enough space for Autistic community, rest, and celebration.
