Started in 2005 in an online forum for autistic people, Autistic Pride Day is a day to celebrate neurodiversity. It is also about shifting views from the paradigm of “disease” to “difference.”
The Art of Autism would love if you would share what you are proud of? Please email info@artautism.com with your name, age, a photo of yourself, and what you are proud of.

The Art of Autism’s mission is to empower autistic people and their families through the Arts.
