Join us to recognize 25 years of autism services, research, and community building at the UW Autism Center! 

Illuminating Autism is a pivotal annual event that supports the UW Autism Center mission to create a world where autistic individuals, parents, and caregivers have the resources to thrive. Funds raised will sustain innovative research, clinical services, and life-changing programs like summer camp.

Keynote speaker, Vanessa Castañeda Gill, CEO of Social Cipher, will share how her inclusive games help neurodivergent youth build social-emotional skills through art and storytelling. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Vanessa is an autistic leader changing the way we approach learning and social development.

The evening will include presentations, live and silent auctions, dinner, and an open bar. Elegant attire is encouraged, and we hope you will wear silver to celebrate the anniversary.
