Help Us Create Connections

Autism Acceptance Month kicks off on April 1st and the Autism Society of America is working to #CelebrateDifferences all month to recognize the multitude of experiences within the Autism community.

Dear Hcis,

Connection has never been more important. Our community needs connection not only to resources and services, but also to each other. These times may feel uncertain. Global challenges, the shift of COVID-19 as endemic in our lives, and continued systemic issues in access to equitable health care, education, jobs, housing and more can feel overwhelming. But together, we can create a world where inclusion, connection and acceptance make a positive difference in the lives of Autistic individuals and their loved ones.

The Autism Society of America has been leading the charge to serve and advocate with the Autism community to ensure that everyone has the support they need, when they need it. We all need a support system, especially right now.

Your support will help us #CelebrateDifferences and create connections for individuals on the Autism spectrum. $25 provides one hour of support to an individual in need at our National Helpline. If you are able to, please give today, every bit makes a difference.

“Our son is 3 and a half years old and has been diagnosed with Autism. Our family wants to do everything we can to put him in a position to succeed in life. We need a lot of help. We are grateful for the Autism Society and are honored to be a part of this community.”

-Parent of an Autistic child, who connected with the Autism Society National Helpline

The Autism Society of America has been celebrating differences by highlighting the strengths, capabilities, and talents of Autistic individuals. By recognizing these differences, we promote acceptance and create connections within the Autism community.

Hcis, join us for World Autism Acceptance Day

Today the world honors Autism Acceptance Day. Autism is not one thing. It is many things. And every experience is unique and valued.

It's World Autism Acceptance Day!

Today the world honors Autism Acceptance Day. Autism is not one thing. It is many things. And every experience is unique and valued.

No matter where you live, who you are, your background or abilities, you should be able to have the connection to supports, services, community and resources needed to live fully. That’s why the Autism Society envisions a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it.

Join the Autism Society to honor the diversity of experiences across the spectrum today and throughout Autism Acceptance Month.

“I celebrate differences by being me, and advocating and teaching others about Autism from my perspective based on my own journey with Autism. I also celebrate differences by experiencing pure joy and allowing myself to experience this, and really treasuring it, because it’s a wonderful thing to be able to do.”

- Chloe Rothschild, member of the Autism Society's Council of Autistic Advisors, advocate and professional speaker

Today, your gift can make an impact and ensure that the Autism Society of America can continue providing critical support, resources and services to the wide-reaching Autism community.

Supported 1.3 million people with information and resources from the Autism Society of America’s website.
Rallied advocates who sent over 3,000 letters to members of Congress through the Autism Society Action Center.
Connected 26,000 people to local support groups across the country.
