Question 1

Will it be recorded?

Accepted Answer

This event will not be recorded to ensure privacy for those attending.

Question 2

I am not in Scotland, can I still attend?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Previously we had participants from all over the world, everyone is welcome.

Question 3

Do I have to share an infodump?

Accepted Answer

There is no obligation at all to share an infodump! As this is Autistic Pride we are only taking infodumps from Autistic participants. Some people came along last year with no intention of infodumping but then decided during the event that they would like to, but the decision is entirely yours!

Question 4

What topics can I talk about?

Accepted Answer

This is a family friendly event and there may be children present so please bear that in mind! Last year we'd a huge range of topics including: Star Trek, Star Wars, Lego, animals, Dr Who, WWE, and much more. It is absolutely fine to talk about something that was discussed last year.

Question 5

I want to share an infodump but don't want to talk, or am a non speaker, is this ok?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Non speakers are welcome to join in. You can submit something in advance or on the day and we are happy to read out or play pre recorded videos. All communication styles are valid.

Question 6

I am not diagnosed Autistic, can I still infodump?

Accepted Answer

Definitely, we support self identification, and we'd love to hear what you're passionate about!

Question 7

I am not Autistic, can I still attend?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, all are welcomed! As it is Autistic Pride we are only taking infodumps from Autistic people but allies can attend and are encouraged to ask questions and join in the chat. We ask that allies respect our culture and communication style.
