Autscape is a conference with a difference. Rather than talking to a primarily non-autistic audience about autism, this conference is specifically by and for autistic people. Some of it isn't even about autism at all! Non-autistic people are also welcome, but the environment and content of the event are centred around autistic people's needs, interests and sensitivities.
Autscape's inception was inspired by Autreat, but it is a unique and independent European event. The first event, held in July 2005, was a stunning success, as was the second event in 2006. Autscape is now set to become an annual event.
In 2008 Autscape will be held in the UK, near Giggleswick, North Yorkshire. The venue chosen for Autscape is surrounded by extensive and picturesque scenery. The venue provides many spaces, indoor and out, for activities or escape and relaxation. For security and privacy reasons, details of the venue's location are given out after registration.
