Autistic Pride Day 2025
Despite the downpour, our 3rd annual Autistic Pride Day was a huge success! It was incredible to connect with so many members of our community and share a day filled with joy and pride. A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers and organizations who joined us and helped make this day possible.
This year’s theme was Autistic Joy is Revolutionary - a reminder that celebrating our joy, community, and identity is an act of resistance in a world that often tells us to hide who we are. On this day, we come together with our friends, family, and allies to embrace who we are unapologetically.

We’re so grateful to our speakers and performers (listed below) who brought the heart of this event to life. From talks on autism and intersectionality, bringing together our community in current times, special interests, and Autistic relationships, to an unforgettable lineup of performers: singer-songwriters, musical theater vocalists, opera, three incredible drag performers, and a live DJ.
We’re already looking forward to Autistic Pride Day 2026! Until then, check out some of our favorite photos from this year’s event below.
