Despite all the advancements in research made in recent years, there is still a significant amount of stigma and misconception surrounding autism. On World Autism Awareness Day, let’s commit to adopt easy ways that can help non-autistic people be good allies to the community.

Just ask!

Rather than feeling daunted or defensive when it comes to your unfamiliarity with autism, ask questions and do research to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. It is important to prioritise autistic voices, and actively learn from the community. This can be as simple as speaking to the autistic people in your life, and asking them what you can do to make their lives easier. Always make sure they know you come with good faith and the intent to learn so they are comfortable.
