Confirmed Speakers For The Autistic Mental Health Conference

All Those So Far With More To Come

Apr 27, 2026

The NeuroHub Mental Health Conference is rooted in our core belief that neurodivergent voices should lead the conversation about neurodivergent lives. Shaped by our ethos, the conference centres lived experience, alongside research and education created by neurodivergent individuals themselves—not framed solely through external observation. We move beyond deficit-based, pathology-driven narratives and instead champion the neurodivergent paradigm: one that recognises difference, celebrates creativity, and honours the depth, insight, and potential of those who experience the world in uniquely powerful ways.

Who is this conference for?

Neurodivergent individuals – Diagnosed and Self Identified and those who are unsure are welcome
Parents and families
Professionals and practitioners
Educators and support workers
Advocates and allies

What to expect from the conference

Across three inspiring days, the NeuroHub Mental Health Conference explores the theme “Ecosystemic Causes of Mental Health Issues”—examining how environments, systems, and societal structures shape neurodivergent wellbeing.

From Friday 14th to Sunday 16th August (10am–6pm BST), you’ll experience a rich and varied programme of 40-minute talks, 15-minute lightning sessions, and pre-recorded contributions from both experts and lived-experience speakers. Each session is designed to deepen understanding, challenge traditional narratives, and offer meaningful, practical insight.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn from neurodivergent-led research and perspectives, connect with a supportive community of peers, professionals, and allies, and gain practical strategies you can apply in everyday life or professional practice.

The conference is fully hybrid and accessible, with online access available for all three days—so you can join from anywhere in the world. Day two (Saturday 15th August) also offers an optional in-person experience in Coldean, Brighton & Hove, UK, where attendees can enjoy additional elements including stalls, food, and entertainment alongside the live sessions.

All talks will be recorded and made available to ticket holders, so you can revisit sessions or catch up in your own time.
