“It’s not just about landing a job, but also maintaining it. Sometimes management does not fully understand autism.”
“The beauty of autism is that people across the spectrum are so unique, and as indigenous people we celebrate our differences. It takes time and effort and energy to understand people on the spectrum.”
“Kane and Marshall are helping the community understand what autism is and what they are capable of doing.”

1 in 66 children and youth in Canada are autistic. We as a country need to build inclusive communities where autistic Canadians can reach their full potential:
April is World Autism Month, an annual opportunity for a dedicated conversation about autism spectrum disorder. Autism touches more than 70 million people globally. Approximately 1 in 66 children and youth are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Canada and this number continues to grow.
In 2008, The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared April 2nd as World Autism Awareness Day — many countries around the world light up their landmarks blue to help increase understanding and acceptance of people with Autism. In 2012, the Canadian Parliament passed the World Autism Awareness Day Act recognizing April 2nd as World Autism Awareness Day.
Join us in celebrating April 2nd and the whole month of April by showing your support.

Together, let’s create an inclusive Canada where autistic people can reach their full potential.
In 2020, Autism Speaks Canada, the McMaster Autism Research Team (MacART) and the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorder Alliance (CASDA) partnered with the intention to uncover the breadth of impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on autistic Canadians and their families.
The Autism Speaks Canada Community Grants program is funding evidence-informed projects across the country that support mental health and increase social engagement opportunities for autistic Canadians and their families.
