On July 26, we celebrate 35 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark law that has transformed the lives of people with disabilities, including many in the autism community.
The ADA laid the foundation for inclusion, access, and equity—but our work isn’t finished.
Last week, during Autism Speaks' Advocacy Forum and Hill Day, autistic individuals, caregivers, and allies from across the country came together in Washington, D.C. to meet with lawmakers and push for change. Their stories were powerful reminders that fulfilling the ADA’s promise requires ongoing action.
Let’s honor this anniversary by speaking up. Visit our Action Center to help improve healthcare, education, financial security, and community living for autistic people. Your voice matters. 💙
