uilt by Autistic Creators. Backed by Just Gold and Aurum Foundation.
This isn’t just an event. It’s how we invest in the future of autistic entrepreneurship. At Just Gold, we don’t just talk about inclusion — we design for it.
Think Autism – Sydney is the next chapter in that work: a conference and community-led workshop series built by Autistic professionals, creatives and entrepreneurs.
It’s happening on Saturday 31 May at UTS.
It’s free to attend for our community — because we’ve made it that way. And now, you can help keep it that way.
Yes, we’ve made this look sharp — because Autistic-led work deserves to be respected, funded and seen.
But don’t let the polish fool you.
Behind the scenes, we’re making it happen on care, time, and community support.
We know it’s been a tough year for the economy. But that’s exactly why this matters.
In moments like this, what we choose to fund says everything about who we are — and who we believe deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.
If you believe in this work, now’s the time to stand with us.
We can’t do it without you.
🎯 Why This Matters to Us
Autistic people are far more likely to pursue entrepreneurship — often out of necessity, not luxury. But the path is rarely made with us in mind.
That’s why Just Gold has spent years backing autistic-led initiatives:
- Think Autism (formerly Autistic Pride Day Symposium)
- Toolkits used by over 500 individuals and organisations globally
- Accessible consulting for not-for-profits and government
- Pro bono strategy that helps ideas become businesses
- Events like this, which provide platforms and visibility
We’re not just producing a conference. We’re shifting who gets seen, heard and hired.
🗓 What’s On at Think Autism – Sydney
The full-day program features:
- Conversational panels led by 30+ Autistic professionals, artists, and advocates
- Interactive community workshops on language, access, and lived experience
- No top-down lectures — just real conversations shaped by the people in the room
- Audience participation welcomed at every stage, not just at the end
- Hands-on learning for UTS students supporting the event — a real-world exercise in accessible design and inclusive practice
Every session is filmed and captioned for global release on Autistic Pride Day – 18 June, together with our free toolkits to drive awareness and change.
