About the event

What does it truly take to support autistic girls and gender-diverse students? Understanding is only the first step. Meaningful action is what drives real change, especially in addressing the often hidden and overlooked needs of autistic people.

The 2026 Yellow Ladybugs Conference is an opportunity to learn from over 50 different perspectives, blending lived and professional expertise. You will gather authentic insights and practical tools to create safer, more inclusive spaces.

Who it's for

The conference is for anyone passionate about creating safer, more inclusive environments for autistic people:

• Parents and carers seeking strategies to support sensory needs, emotional well-being, relationships, and their own self-care.
• Educators looking for practical tools to build neuro-affirming classrooms and effectively support high-masking students.
• Allied health professionals aiming to refine their practice with up-to-date lived experience insights and evidence-based approaches.
• Autistic girls and gender-diverse folk who want to celebrate their identity, gain practical tools, and connect with a supportive community.
