Hello!

Welcome to Autistic Pride Day

We are dedicated to celebrating and supporting the Autistic community. Driven by our vision of a just world for all, we aim to foster understanding, acceptance, and neurodiversity. We follow a clear plan to improve Autistic lives by providing free resources, raising awareness, fostering a sense of community, and creating positive change.

We chose Autistic Pride Day as a starting point for our initiative because it is a powerful moment for celebration and visibility, emphasising the importance of pride, self-acceptance, and the unique strengths our community.

An inclusive world for Autistic individuals creates a better world for all. Join us in making a difference and building a more inclusive future, because we are not equal, until we are all equal.
