RFK Jr. is a monster All new 'On Democracy with FPWellman' dives into just how dangerous he is for all of us

“Autism is a complex spectrum and every single person dealing with it has a different story. RFK Jr.’s blanket assumptions about how no one with autism will be a taxpayer, work, love, or in the most disgusting of comments, use a toilet alone. His stereotyping and bigotry is astonishing.”

Autism Acceptance Month, April 2025 on a white box. Background has rainbow infinity symbol for autism and Deaf Unity logo.

Only 30% of autistic people are in any type of employment. Only 37% of deaf BSL users are in employment.

What are the experiences of those who are deaf and autistic?

April is Autism Acceptance Month♾️
This month is all about accepting autism and this year's theme is "celebrate differences". 
If you are deaf and autistic we would love to hear your story and what this month means to you!

(1/2) Today is World Autism Awareness Day!

Too many people with autism struggle to access education, work, and healthcare - not because of their abilities, but because the world isn’t built to support their success.
