About Autism Acceptance Month:

A disability rights activist named Paula C. Durbin-Westby started Autism Acceptance Day and Month formally in 2011 to create a positive annual event for the community that celebrates autistic differences.

At AutismBC Goes events, we aim to foster a sense of community and belonging, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation. By organizing engaging outings and activities, we offer opportunities for autistic individuals and their families to connect, have fun, and learn in a supportive environment. 

Let’s Connect:

Our programs are designed to support, empower, and connect the autism community! Not yet an AutismBC Member? Sign up for a membership.
