We need genuine allies

The objectives of the Autistic and neurodiversity civil rights movements overlap significantly with the struggles of indigenous peoples. We can either fully embrace the inevitable cultural evolution that has been triggered by the sixth mass existing event, i.e. by suicidal anthropocentrism, or it will be imposed on us by the forces far beyond human control that we have unleashed.

We need genuine allies – on an ongoing basis, but not to run our organisations or to mentor us on how to run organisations. We need allies who work alongside us as partners. Collectively and individually, we have decades of experience in operating Autistic organisations and peer support groups, and in conducting Autistic research – all on the smell of an oily rag, usually self-funded, without any external funding support.

Further ways to support our work

Allies can greatly extend our reach and impact by helping us engage with those who are ready to learn.

You can catalyse systemic change and support Autistic livelihoods along the way, by:

Promoting AutCollab professional education
Promoting AutCollab intersectional psychological safety in the workplace
Connecting us with government sources of funding 
Co-creating centres of indigenous & neurodivergent cultures
