A keynote on Autism Awareness Day is a meaningful investment in understanding, inclusion and long term cultural change. It creates space for informed conversations about neurodiversity and helps move audiences beyond awareness toward acceptance and practical inclusion. By hearing directly from experts and individuals with lived experience, organizations and communities gain deeper insight into autism and the diverse strengths, perspectives and support needs that come with it.
Speakers who combine knowledge with lived experience bring authenticity and credibility to this important day. Haley Moss, advocate for disability inclusion and neurodiversity, is an autistic attorney, author and educator who speaks powerfully about self advocacy, accessibility and changing societal perceptions of autism. Her keynotes inspire greater understanding and inclusive thinking across education and professional settings.
With a strong research based approach, Barry M. Prizant, world renowned autism expert and author of Uniquely Human, offers human centered insights that help audiences understand autism as a difference rather than a deficit. His keynotes are especially valuable for educators, leaders and organizations seeking evidence based strategies for inclusion.
Pete Wharmby, autistic advocate and bestselling author, delivers engaging keynotes on embracing neurodiversity and building inclusive environments in workplaces and schools. His perspective challenges traditional norms and supports practical change in how systems and cultures are designed.

Offering a deeply personal perspective, AJ Paron Wildes and Devin Wildes, a mother and son team, share their lived experience with autism through emotional storytelling and actionable insight. Their keynotes create powerful connection and understanding across diverse audiences.
