Please save the date and join us for our Autism Tree Annual Hybrid Global Neurodiversity Conference at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine in La Jolla, CA on Friday, November 7, 2025!

The Autism Tree Annual Neurodiversity (formerly Neuroscience) Conference is a day-long collaboration that showcases cutting-edge findings and innovations in the field of Neuroscience and Neurodiversity, including Autism. This conference brings light to new groundbreaking research on the science of neurodiversity with the intention to foster collaborations and new ideas and create a heart connection between the global neuroscience community and families living with a neurodiverse or autistic loved one, including a panel discussion on neurodiversity from adults on the autism spectrum living successful lives.

When Autism Tree created this event in 2015, we designed it to not be your ordinary scientific meeting, but rather an encounter of people with various backgrounds and open-minds who care about autistic individuals and the neurodiverse community. We are interested in different global perspectives, so the meeting is attended by top scientists, researchers, families, foundations, donors, local media and therapists.

The Autism Tree Annual Neurodiversity Conference is chaired by Alysson Muotri, Ph.D. of the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine. It will be livestreamed on Zoom and recorded by the University of California Television (UCTV).

Please Note: Due to high demand, we often have waitlists for our events. We send out confirmation text messages a day or two prior to the events to all registered attendees. If we do not receive a text or email confirmation from you, we will assume you're unable to attend and will offer your spot to another family.

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our amazing volunteer leaders. Your timely responses help us offer the free event to as many families as possible.
