2023 Autism Resource Fair
- This event has passed.
The Fort Collins Autism Resource Fair is a free, annual event hosted by Fort Collins Museum of Discovery that provides information and support for the autism community in and around Fort Collins.
Enjoy activities for people of all ages including arts and crafts, games, Lego building, social meetups, a free farm visit to Lee Martinez Farm, parent supports, food trucks, and much more! ASD-trained students from Colorado State University are available for no-cost childcare under faculty supervision so that families and caregivers can interact with providers. Artwork by local autistic artists will be showcased and presentations from self-advocates will be available throughout the day.
We are also honored to welcome world-famous scientist and bestselling author and advocate, Dr. Temple Grandin, as our keynote speaker in the OtterBox Digital Dome Theater. She will also be available to autograph books (including her newest, Visual Thinking).
