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 UCLA strives to advocate with — not just for — autistic individuals.
WHAT WE DO
Empowerment through Understanding
We believe that knowledge is a powerful tool in breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity. Our primary mission is to educate communities about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), debunking misconceptions and fostering a deeper understanding of the unique experience of autistic indiviudals.
Advocating for Acceptance and Equality
We help advocate for a world that embraces neurodiversity and provides equal opportunities for autistic individuals. We work to raise awareness about the importance of acceptance, inclusion, and accommodation, striving for a society where every individual is respected and valued.
Support and Community Building
We aim to provide a safe, supportive community for autistic individuals and their families. We encourage dialogue, offer guidance, share resources, and create a sense of belonging that allows our members to navigate the challenges of ASD with confidence and resilience.
