Today is — first recognised in 2007 by the United Nations as a global day of recognition, understanding, and celebration. While today honours autistic voices, strengths, and achievements, AQ’s Autism Month also shines a light on the realities many autistic Australians continue to face:
🧡 63% of autistic Australians feel lonely at school, with 1 in 2 autistic high school students changing schools to find somewhere they belong or leaving altogether.
💛 3 in 4 autistic jobseekers are never offered a paid job, despite being qualified. Completely disregarded or denied the chance to thrive.
💚 40% of autistic Australians are afraid of being misunderstood when leaving their home, with 50% feeling completely isolated by their community.
These aren't just statistics... they're True stories of people who deserve to be supported and feel they belong. This is more than a campaign about colour. It’s a movement about belonging, something that matters to everyone.
