Students had the chance to deliver speeches, exhibit their artworks or showcase their interests at market stall.
Network manager Kate Andrews helped organise the event by bringing eight autistic mentoring groups across the Goulburn Valley region together.
She said the students’ speeches focused on the benefits of having autism.
Of the 20 personnel hired to organise the event, 15 were on the autism spectrum, she said.
With one in every 88 Australians on the autism spectrum, Ms Andrews emphasised the importance of these events in employing people with autism and bringing the community together to change the attitude from “I Can’t to I Can”.
‘I Can’ CEO Chris Varney said the event was a great opportunity to help autistic students socialise and exhibit their interests.
“They (the students) have been preparing for this event since the start of term 3, he said.
“We hope this will boost their confidence and sense of belonging.”
it's the first time in their five-year history that they have held an event in regional Victoria.
