World Autism Month
For more than 20 years, Autism Speaks has worked alongside the autism community to increase understanding, expand opportunity, and drive meaningful change. Together, we’ve fueled groundbreaking research, advanced critical advocacy, and opened doors to education, healthcare, employment, and community life for autistic people and their families.
In 2026, we are turning up the volume.
The voices of autistic people, families, and advocates are louder than ever and the momentum for progress is real.
Together with the autism community, Autism Speaks is focused on the future: advancing health and longevity, expanding purpose and opportunity, and strengthening community and living supports for autistic people across the lifespan. We are elevating the experiences and needs of adults with autism and individuals with profound autism, ensuring their voices, their families, and their futures are front and center.
This movement goes far beyond awareness. Across the country, autistic people, families, and allies are coming together to advocate for change, build more inclusive communities, and create opportunities where everyone can thrive.
The work is far from finished, but together, we can create a world where every autistic person has the support, connection, and opportunities they deserve.
This is our moment. This is our movement. Let’s Redefine Possible. Join us.
Our asks:
Fuel progress by making a gift that supports life-changing research, advocacy, and services that help autistic people reach their fullest potential.
