Australian Conference On Neurodevelopmental Disorders*

I have been to all the ACND conference and the best thing for me, has been all the conferences have covered different topics. It’s not been a repeat of each conference.

The travel was well worth it! Thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge, resources, and passion over the last two days. It is so appreciated. As a school wellbeing nurse, a parent of an autistic child and an “undiagnosed” neurodivergent individual, this conference has far exceeded my expectations and provided me with so much insight to change, improve and overall accept things differently as a mother, partner, friend, colleague, clinician and an individual.

Thanks for a great conference! The more our community collectively learns about neurodiversity the easier my job gets (and of course infinitely more positive changes). I have witnessed a very significant community change over the last 9 years living here- teachers, parents, clinicians. Particularly with ADHD because that came first. Much more evidence-based information floating around and being shared.

I just wanted to send my congratulations for what I thought was an outstanding meeting. It was a meeting that connected and informed people, and painted a picture of what a better world could look like. Achieving all of those things is no mean feat, and from the vibe I felt, you hit the brief so well.
