AUTISM CANADA

National AccessAbility Week runs from May 26 to June 1. This year's theme is "Forward Together: Accessibility and Inclusion for All." Let's join forces to help make Canada a barrier-free country. https://buff.ly/2IWixIT #autismcanada #bethechange #NAAW2024 #AccessibleCanada #PWD

Autism Canada is proud to affirm our commitment to inclusivity, acceptance, and respect within the autistic community. We believe that every autistic perspective is not only valid but essential to the broader conversation about individuals on the Autism Spectrum, their families, and caregivers. We understand that beyond a singular perspective, each person harbours their own viewpoints on every aspect of their distinct experiences. Autism Canada's Executive Director, Jamie McCleary, emphasizes, "At Autism Canada, we understand that diversity on the Autism Spectrum signifies a diversity of experiences and needs, as well as a multitude of opinions on every aspect of neurodivergent life. In embracing every voice, it is our responsibility to ensure that every individual on the spectrum is represented. Although we acknowledge that conflicts in opinion between individuals or ways of thinking will occur, Autism Canada remains impartial, as it is our primary role to provide unbiased support to every autistic individual inclusively. If we, as an autistic community, acknowledge and respect the diversity of perspectives among us, we can unite as a powerful force to drive the change necessary for building a more inclusive and understanding Canada. Our commitment goes beyond listening—it involves ensuring that all perspectives are actively included in shaping the future of the autistic community." This statement reflects our dedication to creating an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We encourage our community to join us in this mission and promote inclusion, kindness, and acceptance.
