Autism Show 2025

mrs.snooks

Because I do love a poll. :-) 

I went for the first time in 2023 at the Excel. Didn't stay for long due to the crowds, but still found it useful/interesting/glad I went.

Didn't make it last year to the new venue. So would be interested in knowing about it, if anyone went.

Maybe, see you there. xx  london.autismshow.co.uk/

  • I went to one a couple of years ago. As you might guess a lot was aimed at autistic children. Stalls of sensory environment gadgets and stim toys, were OK, as were the ones with technology aimed at overcoming executive function problems. There were a number of talks by autistic adult advocates, that were interesting and some books not widely available. Having been to many conferences for my work I was used to the general atmosphere but my daughter found the crowds and noise overwhelming, so we only stayed for a couple of hours. On balance, I don't think I would go to another.
