Philadelphia Autism Project Conference: Understanding Autistic Masking: Mental Health, Identity and Belonging

Hosted by the Philadelphia Autism Project.

The Philadelphia Autism Project Conference is an annual event bringing together members of the Philadelphia community to share and highlight information and resources, learn about community initiatives, and elevate the diverse perspectives and lived experiences of autistic people, families, and community partners.

This year’s theme explores autistic experiences of masking and its impact on identity, mental health, and well-being. Across all sessions, you will also examine how to promote acceptance and support authentic expression in schools, workplaces, healthcare, and community spaces.

The goal of the Philadelphia Autism Project is to support and connect autistic individuals and their families in Philadelphia using resources and through innovative programs.
