June Advocacy: Pride Month & Water Safety

This June, we highlight Pride Month's intersectionality between Autism and LGBTQ+ communities, inclusive summer activities for families and individuals with Autism, and continued water safety materials.

This June, we highlight Pride Month's intersectionality between Autism and LGBTQ+ communities, inclusive summer activities for families and individuals with Autism, and continued water safety materials. Our Public Policy resources provide advocacy guidance and a Covid-19 health benefits update.

Did You Know: Gender-diverse people are 3 to 6 times more likely to be Autistic than those who are cisgender, according to a large 2020 study. The Autism Society will be highlighting Pride Month throughout June and will bring to light the intersectionality between Autism and LGBTQ+ communities.
