Autism Society, Autism Acceptance Month

 

Greetings! Autism Acceptance Month is here!     This April, we highlight the varied experiences and support needs across Autism. We also mark the Autism Society’s 60th year of connecting, supporting, and advocating for the Autism community.    Today, I invite you to do two things to help us kick off Autism Acceptance Month. First, check out our Autism Is campaign at AutismSociety.org/AutismIs and consider sharing what Autism Is to you. Our Autism Is campaign amplifies the voices and lived experiences of Autistic individuals. Autism Is personal and collective—an identity, a culture, a way of life. It comes with strengths and struggles, moments of joy and challenge – and your experience is valid. We see you.  Second, please make your gift to support our work during this critical time.

As fellow Autism Society supporter and father, Robert Naseef shared, “Autism Is teaching me about being human.... I tried so hard to change my son, Tariq, but in the end he changed me. He transformed me into a better version of myself as a man, a father, a partner, a brother, and a friend.”  Donate

Friend, with the prevalence of Autism now at 1 in 36, it has become part of so many lives. The Autism Society of America serves 1 million+ people a year with vital information and assistance — more than 2,700 a day.     That’s why the work we do, and your unwavering support, is so important.     With you by our side, the Autism Society can continue its 60-year legacy as a beacon of hope for Autistic children and adults, their families, advocates, and others as they each navigate their own unique journey of what Autism Is.    With gratitude,

Christopher Banks  President and Chief Executive Officer
