Autreat is a retreat and conference for autistic people held in the United States.
Autreat is a conference for autistic people, in contrast to other autism conferences, which ANI believes are typically about autistic people but are intended for parents and professionals.

 About Autreat
Autreat is an opportunity for autistic people and those with related developmental differences, our friends, and supporters to come together, discover and explore autistic connections, and develop advocacy skills, all in an autistic-friendly environment.
Autreat is designed to be ‘autistic space.’ This is sometimes confusing or uncomfortable for non-autistic people attending.
Autreat features a lineup of workshops on a variety of subjects of interest to the Autistic community, including both advocacy-related topics and practical daily living concerns.

 Autreat
Autreat, sponsored by Autism Network International (ANI, from whose web site I am about to quote), is an annual summertime "retreat-style conference run by autistic people, for autistic people and our friends." What follows is my personal account of my first participation in Autreat.
The guard invited me to take advantage of the soft chairs in the big meeting room where the three wings of the building come together (and where the guard's desk is), showed me where the bathroom was, and went back to watching the big-screen TV on the opposite wall.
If I have the luxury of attending more Autreats, I hope I will be able to talk myself into a more "laid back" attitude, rather than marching from item to item on the schedule and feeling suspended and awkward in between.
