Our Mission
Autism Advocacy at UCLA's mission is to destigmatize autism in the Los Angeles community and foster a conversation about the importance of inclusivity. From educational events and engaging volunteer opportunities to analysis of legal and societal neurodiversity initiatives, Autism Advocacy at UCLA strives to advocate with — not just for — autistic individuals.

We currently have two main recurring events: the Farmer's Market event and the Self-Advocate Speaker Panel. Find out more here!
