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: If you need to cancel your registration, we kindly ask that you contact our staff and volunteer team as soon as possible (ideally at least 24 hours in advance). This allows us to honor the time and effort of our incredible volunteers and community partners who make these events possible.

Because many of our events have waitlists, we also send confirmation text messages a day or two prior to all registered attendees. 

In the rare case that a cancellation is not communicated and a participant does not attend, we may need to pause registration privileges for three months. You can learn more about our No Show/No Call Policy under the “FAQ’s About Autism Tree” here: https://www.autismtreeproject.org/faqs.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us extend these free opportunities to as many families as possible!
