We are #AskingAutistics for your feedback! This is a survey by and for autistics about the changes you want to see in Canada to improve the lives of autistic people. Your thoughts and experiences will help us advocate on the policies that affect our lives.
You can take the online survey here: bit.ly/AskingAutisticsCanada It will usually take at least 15 minutes to fill out. You can also give feedback in two other ways: 1. Downloading and filling out the survey in Microsoft Word or PDF format from our website: https://www.autisticsunitedca.org/AskingAutisticsCanada.html 2. Using your preferred communication method (e.g. video call, audio call, text chat, email) during an interview.

Autistic United Canada is hoping to hear from you! As we're in a process of restructuring, we wanted to reach out to our wider community and get your feedback. We want to see what sort of events or resources you want to see. We are committed to inclusion and accessibility, and want to know if there are ways we could make being involved easier for you. We are a grassroots, volunteer-run organization. We will not have the person-power to do everything suggested, but we hope to get a sense of the types of opportunities our community most wants to see. Click here to take the survey! Autistics United Canada is hosting two community roundtables in British Columbia and Nova Scotia! We want to hear from you about your priorities, hopes, and dreams for autistic-led advocacy and support in these two provinces. There will be a presentation from Autistics United Canada organizers about who we are as a group and what we have been up to, followed by a community discussion of what people would like to see from their provincial chapter. Join to get involved and have your ideas heard! This community roundtable is open to autistic people and allies, but we will be centering autistic voices, particularly those of autistic BIPOC, LGBTQ+ autistics, autistic women, low-income autistic people, and other multiply marginalized autistic people. The two events will be held via Zoom videoconferencing, with phone-in options available. We are currently booking ASL interpretation and CART (live captioning). See below for details to register!
