The Fort Collins Museum of Discovery Sunday, April 6th 11am-4pm

The 2025 fort collins autism Resource fair

About this year's event:

The Fort Collins Autism Resource Fair is a free, annual event hosted by the 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,  face painting, Lego building, social meetups, character meet and greet, parent supports, food trucks, and much more! 


ASD-trained students from Colorado State University are available for childcare assistance under faculty supervision at no cost so that families and caregivers can interact with providers.  


We are also honored to welcome world-famous scientist and bestselling author and advocate, Dr. Temple Grandin, who will give a talk in the OtterBox Digital Dome Theater.  She will also be available to autograph books (including her newest, Visual Thinking).  


Additionally, we are honored to be showcasing the new documentary, An Open Door, in the Dome Theater, celebrating the mind and works of Dr. Temple Grandin. 

A Q&A panel with the filmmakers will follow.


Neurodiverse individuals and their loved ones are encouraged to explore the museum and share a  day of fun. Let us help you find out more about the autism community of Fort Collins!

· The Arc of Larimer County 

· CAYAC
