The Autism Parenting Summit is Here!

The global Autism Parenting Summit is returning in May 2026.

Imagine 60,000 plus attendees, 30+ world-class speakers, 4 informative days, and 1 global event – the Autism Parenting Summit is back!

The Summit, hosted by Autism Parenting Magazine, is a free virtual event on May 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th.

Doctors, psychologists, educators, advocates, and people on the spectrum will again cover the topics that matter most to autism parents and the larger autism community.

The lineup includes renowned autism experts such as Dr. Temple Grandin, Sally Blythe, Dr. Joy Eberhardt, and Dr. Marcia Eckerd.

We will also hear from neurodivergent speakers such as Holly Blanc Moses, Andrew Crosbie, and Maisie Soetantyo, and autism advocates, including Bina Bendale and Jenna Smith.
In a series of presentations and interviews, these experts and many others will cover subjects such as behavior, social skills, education, transitioning to adulthood, diet, and communication, among many other hot topics.

These speakers will cover topics such as:

• supporting and improving communication,
• sleep struggles,
• balance and coordination,
• nutrition and picky eating,
• transitioning to work, and
• many more informative topics!

“This is the 11th installment of the Autism Parenting Summit, and every time, we are overwhelmed by the positive feedback,” says Mark Blakey, Founder of Autism Parenting Magazine.

“We’re confident families across the globe will find something within the schedule to help and support them.”
Autism Parenting Magazine Editor Sharon Longo agrees with Blakey. “We are very proud of the wealth of information we offer. Parents, caregivers, and professionals can find support and understanding in this virtual event that highlights the strength and resilience of the autism community.”

Blakey says they want the Autism Parenting Summit accessible to as many people as possible.

“All our videos are free for 24 hours after their release. We encourage parents and professionals in the autism field to visit the website as soon as possible to get their free pass and reserve their places.”
