Autism Month Unfiltered Registration
Autism Month Unfiltered: A Panel Discussion Centering Lived Experience
Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month is everywhere – in April…
But families don’t get to forget about awareness and acceptance when the month ends.
And they still feel more isolated than supported.
That’s why we hosted a 90-minute panel that centers autistic adults, parents, and siblings to talk honestly about what awareness, acceptance, and real support actually look like across a lifetime.
This isn’t about early intervention checklists or awareness slogans.
It’s about listening to lived experience – across intersecting identities, support needs, and family roles – and making space for the questions families need answered.
You missed the conversation live – but this conversation is too important to archive.
