Advocate:

Progress is not a straight line and neither is autism advocacy. From funding to inclusion, we have included some ways for you to get involved in your community and advocate to change the lives of autistic children.

  • Contact your local government– city, county, and state governments are a vital part of the infrastructure that both supports and impedes autistic children.  Find out what is being done to ensure compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act in your area.
  • Share your stories– We are more powerful together.  It wasn’t until hitting her own walls as an autism mom that our Executive Director realized just how much advocacy was needed.
  • Be an ally– If you see a stressed out mom at target, don’t assume that mom is a bad parent.  Autistic children have meltdowns, triggered by sensory issues.  These are very different from tantrums and are not because of bad parenting or bad children.  Something as simple as a smile or telling that parent or caregiver that they are doing a good job is a great step.
  • Educate yourself and inform others– There are many mischaracterizations about autism. Oftentimes people think of the movie Rain Man or Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.  The truth is that no two autistic people are the same, but by understanding autism and the ways it may present, you can help teach others in our community.
