Hello!

Welcome to Autistic Pride Day

Autistic Pride Day is led by Autistic people and driven by the belief that pride, visibility and inclusion are not optional — they are essential.

We celebrate Autistic identity, share free resources, and build inclusive communities around the world. Whether you’re Autistic or an ally, this is your invitation to be part of a global movement that centres neurodiversity and challenges outdated narratives.

Our mission is simple:
To create a world where Autistic people are respected, supported, and unapologetically ourselves — every day, not just once a year.

Autistic Pride Day is our starting point — not our limit.
It’s a moment to take up space, to celebrate who we are, and to push for real change across schools, workplaces and public life.

Because we are not equal until we are all equal. And an inclusive world for Autistic people is a better world for everyone.

Autistic-Led

Autistic Pride Day is built by Autistic people, for Autistic people.

We celebrate neurodiversity and the unique strengths Autistic individuals bring to the world. Our movement champions pride, visibility, and self-advocacy, while challenging stereotypes and driving meaningful change.

An inclusive and empowering community gathering where a neurodivergent speaker shares insights with confidence, supported by an engaged and diverse group. The atmosphere reflects acceptance, vibrant self-expression, and mutual respect—core values of Autistic Pride Day.

Intersectionality

No one is just one thing.

We honour the diverse lived experiences that shape our community — including culture, gender, language, disability, sexuality, geography and class. Our approach is intersectional by design, because inclusive unity starts with recognising our differences.

A Free Toolkit

Celebrate Autistic Pride Day your way — anywhere, with anyone.

Our free downloadable toolkits offer customisable guides for workplaces, schools, homes and communities. Plan an event, run a classroom activity, or just start a conversation. All materials are Autistic-informed and globally accessible.

Accessible

Accessibility isn’t an add-on. It’s a principle.

Every resource we create is free, digital-first, and designed for ease of use. We embrace diverse communication styles and prioritise inclusive formats, so that anyone, anywhere, can take part in their own way.
