Autism BC We empower, support, and connect the autism community in BC. AutismBC™ is a non-profit and registered organization.

AutismBC is British Columbia’s first and only autistic-led advocacy organization and registered charity. Our neuro-affirming non-profit organization is led by a team with diverse lived experiences as neurodivergent people and/or caregivers of neurodivergent family members. Since 1975, we have supported, empowered, and connected autistic individuals and their families across British Columbia through inclusive community programs and trusted, non-prescriptive information services. We envision a British Columbia where all autistic people are accepted, included, and supported. Our work is rooted in lived experience and guided by a neuro-affirmative, non-clinical approach. We support the social model of disability while recognizing the medical model’s role in diagnosis. We amplify autistic voices and centre the needs and priorities of our community in all that we do. Our province-wide programs—including information services, social clubs, peer support groups, and educational workshops—support autistic individuals and their families. With Regional Coordinators and offices in the Lower Mainland, Northern BC, the Interior, and Vancouver Island, we serve diverse and intersectional communities and represent a growing membership of over 11,000 people across the province. Our dedicated staff and volunteers deliver province-wide programming that promotes connection, knowledge, and belonging.

On Orange Shirt Day, AutismBC reflects on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We stand by the truth that Every Child Matters, anchoring our commitment to safe spaces that protect individuals throughout their lives:

• Honouring Generations: We wear orange to remember the children who never came home and to support the adult survivors and elders who carry these stories today.
• Lifelong Safe Spaces: We believe creating safe environments for children sets the foundation for healthy, valued, and safe autistic adults.
• Intergenerational Healing: We commit to listening, learning, and ensuring that safety, inclusion, and care extend across all generations.

Today, we wear orange to honour Residential School Survivors, their families, and the intergenerational healing that moves us all toward a safer, more inclusive future, as one small step in reconciliation.

AutismBC stands with Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc, with Survivors and their families, and with Indigenous communities across British Columbia and beyond.

We know this has been a painful week. Hate will not have the final word, and it will not silence the truth. Our hearts are with everyone who is carrying this grief. Reconciliation is part of our work, not separate from it.

We commit to continuing to listen, to learn, and to act.

If you need support, please be gentle with yourself and take the space you need.
