Theme Description
The theme for Autscape 2010 is "Autistic Wellbeing".
Autism is all too often portrayed as a disease or disorder with only negative aspects. But at Autscape 2010 we would like to discuss, develop and share strategies to both be autistic and be well. Presentations may cover topics like sensory and information processing, physical and mental health, meeting one's needs, being productive, social interaction, and community building.
Presentations which seek to develop the theme of Autistic Wellbeing will be given priority.
We wish to explore a broad range of perspectives on being autistic in many different ways. This can be through formal presentations or workshops, and may be theoretical or practical. Many different types of input are welcome: traditional lectures, creative expression, physical activity, interactive workshops and more.
