Autistic Empowerment

Autistic empowerment is about recognizing and supporting the strengths, rights, and perspectives of autistic individuals. It involves enabling autistic people to have control over their lives, make decisions, and be respected for who they are. Empowerment promotes understanding, acceptance, and inclusion, helping autistic individuals to thrive personally, socially, and professionally. It shifts the focus from viewing autism as a problem to appreciating it as a different way of experiencing the world, fostering confidence and self-advocacy while removing barriers to full participation in society.
