The Autism Parenting Summit Is Here!

The global Autism Parenting Summit is returning in October 2025.

Imagine 70,000 attendees, 25+ 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 October 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th.

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. 

Speakers at the Autism Parenting Summit

The lineup includes renowned autism experts such as Dr. Temple Grandin, Ali Perkinson, Dr. Gina Gomez de la Cuesta, Dr. Leslie Blome, Lawrence Nentwig, and Katie Moore.

We will also hear from neurodivergent speakers such as Andrew Arboe, Samantha Foote, Dr. Virginia Spielmann, and Dr. Stephen M. Shore, and autism advocates including Diana Chuldzhyan, Andrea Pollack, Dr. Danny McGuire, Jr., and Robin Rettie. 

In a series of presentations and interviews, these experts and many others will cover subjects such as behavior, social skills, education, transitioning to adulthood, nutrition, and communication, among many other hot topics.

These speakers will cover topics such as:

• autism and mental health,
• positive behavior support,
• sensory needs,
• potty training,
• autism transitions, and
• many more informative topics! 

“This is the tenth 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.”

Of course, the event would not be possible without the support of the Summit’s sponsors, who are adding their valuable expertise to the lineup.
