The clock is ticking. The 2026 Autistic Mental Health Conference is just two months away, and if you haven’t secured your ticket yet, now is the time.

Friday 14th – Sunday 16th August 2026 | 10am–6pm BST
Fully online | Optional in-person day on Saturday 15th | in Coldean, Brighton & Hove, UK

Three days. 15+ speakers. One unmissable event.

This year’s theme is Ecosystemic Causes of Mental Health Issues; exploring how environments, systems, and societal structures shape neurodivergent wellbeing. And the line-up is extraordinary.

Confirmed speakers include:

Dr. Nick Walker Professor at CIIS and foundational voice in neurodiversity theory
David Gray-Hammond & Tanya Adkin presenting The Ecosystemic Model of Distress
Erin Ekins queer Autistic author and BBC-featured advocate
Dr. Nathan Keates University of Sunderland researcher in Critical Neurodiversity studies
Ava McAuley on masking, the Double Empathy Problem, and mental health
Lawrence Kampf, Karen Parker, Nikki Smith, Ed Shearer, Amber Dawn, Stacy Badon, and many more

Every speaker brings lived experience, research, and a commitment to neurodivergent-led perspectives.

Can’t catch everything live? No problem.

All talks will be recorded and made available to ticket holders, so you can revisit sessions or catch up in your own time. Ticket holders also get exclusive access to an on-demand library of additional pre-recorded talks that couldn’t fit into the packed schedule.

Tickets start from just £50

This conference is for:

Autistic and neurodivergent people (diagnosed, self-identified, or still figuring it out)
Parents and families
Professionals, educators, and support workers
Advocates and allies
