autistic advocacy groups

Autistic advocacy groups are organizations that support and promote the interests of autistic individuals. They work to increase awareness, provide resources, and advocate for acceptance, equitable rights, and services. These groups often aim to influence public policy, improve understanding of autism, and empower autistic people to have a voice in decisions affecting their lives. Their focus is on respecting neurodiversity, supporting independence, and ensuring inclusion within society. Overall, they serve as a bridge between the autistic community and the wider public, fostering understanding, acceptance, and positive change.
