Healthcare and Medical News: Inspiring action through the stories of our community

Dear Hcis,

Everyone has the right to live fully — and to have an organization that champions laws and policies that positively impact their lives. That’s why the Autism Society is so important in our community.

We are launching our new Gifts of Acceptance campaign — highlighting diverse, personal, stories from the Autism community to inspire action. Gifts of Acceptance are opportunities for inclusion, supports, services, and the right to live fully. These gifts represent our work in advocacy, justice, employment, safety programming, healthcare, and more.

From fighting for full funding of historic bills like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ... to tirelessly advocating for the reauthorization of the Autism CARES Act, we are making a difference together.

From fighting for full funding of historic laws like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and increasing home and community-based services to tirelessly advocating for the reauthorization of the Autism CARES Act, we are making a difference together.

“It is crucial for us to have the budgetary allowance to continue services for Autistic people around the country as well as fund new research, new services, and opportunities to better serve a diverse, and ever-growing body of Autistic people,” shared Kris King, member of the Autism Society’s Council of Autistic Advisors and Activist.

You can join our efforts to advocate for all Autistic individuals – those with significant and complex support needs, to those living independently – and provide the opportunity to live fully. Please consider a gift today.

Thank you for your support!
