Autistic Adults NYC at Autistic Pride Day 2023

Thank you to everyone who came out to our 2023 Autistic Pride Day Celebration! It was such a great experience to hear from so many Autistic voices and see all the creativity within our community. Thank you to the donors who contributed and allowed us to put together such a meaningful event. And thank you to all the speakers, musicians, artists, and volunteers that helped put everything together!
