Who We Are: Autistic Youth International 🌎
Autistic Youth International (AYI) is an organization focused on creating meaningful opportunities for Autistic and Neurodivergent people, their families, and their communities.
Our work centers around four areas:
🌎 Inclusive events that create welcoming spaces for people with different needs, interests, and ways of participating.
📚 Inclusive books that help children see themselves, their families, and different experiences represented in the stories they read.
📣 Advocacy and outreach that amplify Autistic voices, connect with communities, and help build greater understanding and acceptance.
🎪 The 5th Annual Festival & Pop-Up Market for Autism, our signature community event celebrating Neurodiversity Pride Day through activities, books, art, music, play, sensory experiences, vendors, and community connection.
We believe everyone should have opportunities to participate, belong, and be represented.
AYI is building those opportunities one event, one book, one conversation, and one community connection at a time. 🌎
Follow us to be part of what we’re building and stay up to date on the 5th Annual Festival & Pop-Up Market for Autism, including event updates, activities, vendors, and ways to get involved.
