Autism Acceptance Movement

The Autism Acceptance Movement is a social effort to promote understanding, respect, and inclusion for autistic individuals. It challenges negative stereotypes and the idea that autism is something to be “cured,” instead emphasizing acceptance of neurodiversity—the natural variations in how people's brains function. The movement advocates for recognizing autistic people's strengths, rights, and needs, aiming to create a society where they are valued as they are. Ultimately, it encourages society to adapt and embrace differences rather than trying to change or highlight deficits.
