Summary
This online video shows the fifth Autism's Own Conference, which features three panel discussions with a number of self-advocates on the autism spectrum between the ages of 14 and 57. The panels discuss transition to adulthood, adult diagnosis, and K-12 school with the audience. Topics such as preparing for adulthood, time management, stigma and ableism, autism and identity, and the merits of integrated and specialized education are addressed.

The video also includes theatre and piano performances.
