18 June 2026
The demand becomes public
/ June 18 is Autistic Pride Day
The world noticed autism. The systems did not.
June 18 is when we say so together, publicly, across 22 countries, with a formal demand that does not expire when the day ends.
What is happening on June 18?
/ The public demand
On 18 June 2026, Autistic Pride Day, the six actions are issued as a formal public demand to governments, employers, and institutions. Not a statement of intent. A demand with mechanisms, built on years of community evidence, and already in the hands of more than 200 organisations across 22 countries.
/ The Think Autism Conference
Autistic voices, researchers, advocates, and decision-makers. Online, free, and open to everyone wherever they are. The conference that produced the six actions returns on June 18 to mark the moment the demand lands publicly.
/ The Standard goes live
The page that names organisations that have adopted the six actions and makes visible those that have not. Accountability is not a threat. It is what happens when people are paying attention.
