Let's Celebrate Pride Month!

Learn about Autistic Pride Day

Celebrating Pride Month Our June resources focus on Pride Month where we'll share facts and statistics on the intersectionalities of Autism and the LGBTQ+ community. Additionally, we'll continue to share summer activities and camp information to support development while out of school. Lastly, June 18th marks Autistic Pride Day, an opportunity to practice acceptance, celebrate inclusion, and recognize the varied Autistic experiences across the community. Did you know: Autistic Pride Day is a pride celebration for Autistic individuals held on June 18th every year. Autistic Pride Day and Pride Month have separate focuses.
