# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Profound Autism Symposium
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 16 Nov, 2025 at 10:00 pm – Mon, 17 Nov, 2025 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Profound Autism Symposium 2025 is a landmark event, placing the voices and needs of people with profound autism on the national stage for the very first time. 

Profound autism recognises people with the most complex, lifelong support needs. Many are non-speaking or minimally verbal. Many live with intellectual disability. Most need intensive support, often across the entirety of their lives.  

Recognising profound autism means holding space for the whole spectrum. All the moments of happiness, connection, and success, and the painful realities of medical emergencies, behaviours of distress, or lifelong dependence. It is only by acknowledging this complexity that we can build systems that truly work.

Join us on 17 and 18 November in person at the State Library of NSW or via Livestream, as we convene world-class expertise, lived experience voices, and evidence-based approaches in a mix of presentation and discussion panels across:

* Profound autism’s place in the broader autism community
* Advocacy, rights, and the NDIS reforms
* Post-school transitions and adulthood pathways
* Housing, supported living, and long-term care
* Legal and estate planning for families
* Family stories and lived experience 
* Carer wellbeing and mental health

Whether you are a parent or caregiver, a family member, clinician, educator, service provider, advocate, or policymaker, we invite you to be part of this history-making event designed to put profound autism back on the national agenda.
