Autistic Pride Day Open Mic and Stimming Contest Preregistration

Thank you for your interest in preregistration. It was not required to preregister. You can now show up and join the fun at any time.

Autistic Pride Day is a community celebration of autistic culture, creativity, and connection. It will take place on June 20th from 11 to 3 at the Downtown Chattanooga Library. Autistic Pride Day is designed as a choose your own adventure event where you can move at your own pace, explore what interests you, and shape the day in a way that works for you. This is your event, created to amplify, center, and empower your voice, and we are honored to hold that space with you.

You can join the fun with our Stimming Contest in the 1st floor auditorium at 11:00 and our Peer Review Assessment Panel for Entertainment Purposes Only at 1:00 pm. The Open Mic Info Dump underwritten by Barking Legs Theater is open at any time during the event. Visit the 4th floor event room to join the fun.
