The recent rise in the neurodiversity movement and autistic advocacy, plus new historical and scientific perspectives, have re-established the salience and need for such an autistic phenomenology. I will review previous roles of phenomenology within the historical evolution of the autism concept. I will describe my own current investigations in this area towards a more systematic autistic phenomenology and the implications this could have for clinical practice and science.\n\nLearning objectives:\n\nHistory of autism and phenomenologyModern phenomenological methodsConceptual shifts for autism within neurodiversity4.20 pm                   \n\nClosing comments  \n\n
