Events

Yellow Ladybugs social events for autistic girls and gender diverse youth are currently paused due to ongoing sustainability, funding and resourcing constraints. Please refer to our Local Connect programme for opportunities to connect with other registered families.

Yellow Ladybugs has a proud history of running regular informal social events offering peer-to-peer connections for autistic girls and gender diverse young people between the ages of five and sixteen. Our events have brought our members together in an inclusive, fun and sensory-friendly setting.

We have offered a variety of events, large family-sized, small age restricted, events for sensory-seekers/sensory-avoiders, and aimed to cover a range of interest areas such as the arts, sports, entertainment/leisure/rest, animals and more.

Over nearly ten years, we delivered events in several locations in-person and offered a calendar of online events open to members Australia-wide.

Underpinning every Yellow Ladybugs event, our mission has always been to foster a sense of belonging, to help our autistic members connect with their peers, and to instil a sense of autistic pride within our community.

We continue to provide events for adults including educational panels and professional development discussions, plus our annual conference which draws over 3000 attendees each year, across Australia and round the globe. For more information, visit the Conference section.
