World Autism Acceptance Month
Every autistic person is different, and their ambitions and goals are all different too. For World Autism Acceptance Month 2026, we are shining a light on autistic young people’s life ambitions. From everyday life to school and work, autistic people deserve the chance to follow their goals and aspirations.
However, we know that life often places barriers on them.
We exist to break down these barriers and we work together with autistic young people to create a fairer and more inclusive world. Whether that is increasing autism understanding, working with employers or trying to make schools a better place for autistic pupils, we want to make sure autistic young people have the future they want.
Find out more about autistic young people’s ambitions, and how you can help make them a reality.
