Friday 27th September our CEO Amanda Boyce & Trustee Paula Howd made the 13 hour round trip,

from Brunswick Village to the famous Cardiff City Stadium and back for this years;

Autism Live.

In it's 8th consecutive year, since their launch, the Autistic Minds Charity presents live shows, discussions and panels and

provides face to face access to services, resources and provisions that exist to help autistic individuals, their families, and the professionals that support them.

Previously known as The Autism Directory LIVE, this year saw a new and improved Show in Cardiff for 2024.

Visitors were able to talk to exhibitors, listen to seminars on a wide range of subjects relevant to autism,

as well as attend workshops and arrange one-to-one meetings with some of the organisations

that can provide specialist and bespoke support.

If you are an autistic, a family member, or a professional that supports this community,

then the Autistic Minds LIVE shows are for you.

There is no charge to the autism community to access the shows, visitor tickets are entirely free.

navigating platonic & sexual relationships, pathological demand avoidance & much more...
