Affirming autistic and LGBTQ+ experiences
Being seen and finding your people, or even one person, is known to contribute to an increase in happiness, improved health and a better quality of life. Our Autism and LGBTQ+ identities ( [link removed] ) welcomes all to come do that. Autistic queer adults can find lessons learned from others living out and proud and self-advocacy tips ( [link removed] ) to get their needs met. Parents and allies can read how to best support their loved ones ( [link removed] ). Providers can read clinical care guidelines ( [link removed] ). Together we can cultivate belonging for all those in the autistic LGBTQ+ community.

Plus: advice for allies supporting their queer and autistic loved ones.
