misleading promise

I booked the summit in Oct 2024 and was told that it would be online for later perusal, but I could not find any of the presentations. I paid R590 to be able to do that.

Autism Parents Society?

APS? You need to run this by me. I've parented 2 children assessed with Autism - 25 years now. I can't even imagine what you think you know. I've seen it all. Well intentioned people who know nothing about Autism claiming to be experts for hire.

Hi David,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We truly respect your experience as a parent of two children with autism for 25 years. Your lived experience is invaluable, and we appreciate your dedication to supporting your children through their journey.

As we mentioned in our email, APS stands for the Autism Parenting Summit, a free, online event held twice a year. Our goal is to provide a platform where diverse voices — including parents, professionals, and advocates — can come together to share practical insights and strategies that can help families navigate autism. We’re not claiming to have all the answers, and we understand that parents like you, who have lived through the challenges, hold the most knowledge.

We’re committed to supporting the autism community, and if you have any further questions or concerns, we’re here to help.

Just not at all what I thought I was signing up for. Having servered on several local, state and national non-profits focused on Autism services, this is not what I was expecting. My son is now an adult and our focus is more on housing, job supports and his recent surprising sucess with spelling to communicate. None of which has ever been menbtioned in any of the content with the Autism Parentiing Summit.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Susanne. I'm sorry to hear the summit didn't meet your expectations. We truly appreciate your dedication to autism services and understand how important topics like housing, job supports, and communication methods for adults are.

Each summit does include sessions focused on adults, and we'd be happy to guide you to those resources. Some of the past sessions have included:
-Michael Barton, Autism and Neurodiversity Speaker: Unlocking Potential: Autism in the Workforce
-Brenda Smith Myles, PhD, Author, Presenter, and Autism Advocate: The Hidden Curriculum: The Unwritten Rules of Society

We’re always open to suggestions for future topics as well. Thank you for being part of this community and for your valuable advocacy.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, Natalie! We couldn’t agree more with your perspective. Bringing together a variety of viewpoints is something we truly value because we recognize that everyone’s journey is unique, and what resonates for one person may be different for another. It’s wonderful to hear that you appreciated the diversity of information and the different schools of thought presented at the summit.

It’s so important to reflect on the ideas shared and consider how they align with your own needs and values. While the speakers may approach topics from different perspectives, they all aim to offer something meaningful and valuable, and we’re glad you were able to take something away from each of them.

Your thoughtful approach to this really inspires us, and we’re so grateful to have participants like you who engage with the content in such a meaningful way. Thank you for being part of the summit and for sharing your feedback—it means a lot to us! 💙

An Inspiring and Informative Experience

An Inspiring and Informative Experience

Attending the Autism Summit Workshop was an exceptional experience. The conference was well-organized, and every session was packed with valuable information, practical strategies, and insights from experts in the field.

The speakers were knowledgeable and passionate, sharing evidence-based practices and innovative approaches to supporting individuals on the autism spectrum. I particularly appreciated the workshops’ balance between research-driven content and real-world application, making it easy to take the lessons learned back to my own work and personal life.

Additionally, the resources provided were thorough and actionable, ensuring the learning didn’t stop at the end of the day.

I highly recommend this conference to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of autism and enhance their ability to support individuals on the spectrum. It was both enlightening and empowering!

Helpful and informative lectures

I enjoyed the talks from those with Autism and people working in the field of Autism. It has helped me understand and be better equipped to engage with autistic people I meet and work with in education. I wish I had had this while raising a child on the Autism spectrum.

Self Care

Self Care
There is so much to talk about in reference to my experiences attending the summit however the one that impacted me most this time around was self care.
I have been giving 100% attention to my grandson and forgetting about myself. I didn’t notice this until I found out I was having meltdowns and feeling burnt out. Here in Belize there is not much activities geared at relaxation, and support Not my knowledge so what I have been doing is getting up and getting in some exercise using videos which helps some. I have no yet found a support group, I’m still looking, nonetheless I now understand the importance of support group with regards to self care.
A few weeks before the summit we bought and moved into out own house, but the transition was difficult. I even got into an accident from what the doctors told me from a lack of sleep not eating on time and not drinking enough water. My concern at that time was to make sure my grandson was transitioning okay and forgetting about myself.
I’m so grateful for these summits I have learnt so much and have put so many of these ideas and recommendations to good use.

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience and for your kind words about the summit, Gloria. 💙

It’s clear how much love and dedication you have for your grandson, and we’re so glad the summit helped you recognize the importance of taking care of yourself, too. Self-care isn’t easy, especially when you’re focused on someone you care about so deeply, but it’s such a vital part of the journey.

You’ve been through so much with the move, the challenges, and even the accident, yet you’re finding ways to prioritize your well-being. Starting with exercise is such a positive step, and we hope you continue to build on that. Please know that you’re not alone, and your strength and determination are truly inspiring. We’re so grateful to have been part of your journey, and we’re cheering you on every step of the way.
