Did anybody go to this? I only just found about it through a YouTube channel. I would have loved to have gone. I’ll remember for next year as it seems they have them every year.
I didn't go either. Apparently Lauri Love was very good. There's a feeling it's more for parents and includes dodgy 'treatements', and there are some criticisms here:

Yeah, just read the article and that’s exactly the sense that I got from watching the introductory video and reading the schedule. The first thing you notice on the video is how loud and busy the place is. I thought it was going to be autism heaven, lol! It sounds truly awful so my trip to autism land started and ended within about half an hour of my learning about it! Lol! It was a short lived journey but it does make me wonder what the charities etc are doing to promote and create greater opportunities for autistic people and what can they do if they’re coming from the premise that they’re the superior race?
I’ve never heard of Lauri Love.
