Champions of Change

Autism Speaks Champions of Change

Voices of the autism community creating cultural change

Led by seven fearless self-advocates, parents and changemakers in the autism community, each bringing a unique voice and a wide range of personal experiences, Autism Speaks’ Champions of Change program marks an evolution of collaborating with and standing alongside members of the autistic community.

The Champions of Change are messengers, advocates, allies and advisors and to the autistic community at large — helping steer the future of the organization. Alongside Autism Speaks, the Champions stand fearlessly for a world where autistic people are recognized, valued, celebrated and afforded the opportunities they deserve.
