Diversity Views

Autistic Pride Day

Autistic Pride Day was celebrated on 18 June. Founded in 2005, this day honours and recognises the unique strengths and qualities of Autistic people. It aims to reframe the negative perception of needing to cure or treat Autism. The gold infinity symbol, chosen because the chemical symbol for gold is Au, represents Autism and is a variation of the rainbow infinity symbol used for neurodiversity. 

Autistic Pride Day:

• Celebrates diversity and promotes acceptance.
• Acknowledges that everyone has value despite being different.
• Honours the unique strengths and qualities of Autistic people.
• Reminds us that everyone deserves respect, understanding, and acceptance.
• Spreads awareness of neurodivergence as a natural brain variation.

We want to take this opportunity (although belatedly) to celebrate and recognise the incredible Autistic young people in our community.
