We’re not just giving lip service to our global title; we’re truly bringing together perspectives from around the world. Inspired by my childhood adventures, where I collected treasures and met people from diverse backgrounds, we aim to share these valuable insights with you.
From October 17th to 20th, join us for a groundbreaking online event uniting parents, educators, healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates. This summit offers a unique opportunity to share knowledge, discuss best practices, and raise awareness about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related neurodivergent conditions.
Explore diverse teaching styles from every continent and connect with a passionate global community dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with ASD. Embrace the wealth of resources from each country and support those on the spectrum.
Please join us on this journey to explore teaching styles and attitudes from around the world and share insights.
I founded the Autism Today Foundation as a mother of neurodiverse and autistic children and a leader dedicated to creating opportunities, resources, and community through the foundation. Autism Today is committed to providing a spectrum of solutions that empower those impacted by autism and neurodiversity to be better seen, heard, understood, valued, and appreciated for who they are, and to showcase their strengths, gifts, and talents so the world can see that greatness exists in everyone.
Through The Autism Today Channel, The ARTS Network, and The Learning and Education Division (LED), the foundation brings together a community built on empowerment, visibility, and support.
Our Vision: “Moving the needle of understanding, success, and support the fastest way possible for those with autism and neurodiversity, globally. We do this by focusing on their gifts, strengths, and talents.”
With your sponsorship, we can bring this vision to life and make a lasting impact on the autism community.
I cannot wait to hear back from you and discuss this incredible opportunity further.
The summit will be hosted on Gatherly Virtual Events, a state-of-the-art digital platform featuring 100 unique interactive floors and dedicated in-event concierges, ensuring a seamless experience.
Attendees will enjoy a vibrant and interactive virtual environment replicating an in-person event’s excitement.

The platform’s design promotes meaningful networking and spontaneous interactions, fostering an environment that supports deep, productive conversations and connections.
As our mission mandates, we are not just giving “lip service” to changing the world for the better. We realize exchange rates and global economies of scale are at play in international areas and want to ensure that people everywhere have the opportunity to attend the “World Autism Summit 2024”. For this reason, we are offering a limited number of scholarships and partial scholarships for individuals in some geographic areas, based on these factors. Feel free to apply if you think this applies to you.

“Your son has autism! were the words that rang out from my son’s psychiatrist after he was diagnosed so I froze in my tracks like so many other parents do and they stayed stuck for years. Only the darkness of being lost surrounded me. I had no idea how to navigate and my son was not a mere snapshot in some doctors life. I searched and found Karen Simmons who made the sun shine again for me where all I had seen in the past was darkness. For the first time, she she gave me hope that changed our lives forever. She understood.
