Autism Society Celebrates 60 Years of Advocacy

The Autism Society marks its 60th anniversary, celebrating decades of advocacy, support, and inclusion for individuals on the autism spectrum. Since 1965, it has influenced policies like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and promoted workplace inclusivity.

With a vast network of local affiliates, the Society provides essential resources, sensory-friendly events, and support programs. Looking ahead, it remains dedicated to advancing neurodiversity, healthcare access, and disability rights.

To commemorate this milestone, special events and advocacy initiatives will take place nationwide. Please visit the Autism Society’s website at autismsociety.org to learn more and get involved.
