World Autism Acceptance Day 2025
Autistic people may face different forms of societal discrimination and exclusion due to barriers and stigma.
Therefore, it is vital for the community to be able to access guidance, resources and opportunities to develop important skills, social groups and support networks.
We are choosing to celebrate today as World Autism Acceptance Day (rather than World Autism Awareness Month) in an effort to continue to 'Level UP' as an organisation from awareness to acceptance - and beyond! Learn more about how the brilliant autism advocacy group 'Autism Level UP!' are encouraging us all to see where we are and take the next step forward!
