Champions of Change Jose and Subodh had a chance to sit down and chat. Even though Jose was diagnosed as an adult and Subodh was diagnosed as a child, they found they had more in common than they realized. More importantly, they established a lifelong friendship.

One of the biggest barriers to daily life for autistic individuals of all ages and abilities is lack of awareness and understanding from the general public. We have worked with autistic adults to create the Autism Friendly Ally program for individuals and Autism Friendly Designation program for businesses.
Help make the world a more understanding and accepting place for people with autism and become an Autism Friendly Ally or encourage a business to get their Autism Friendly Designation - link in bio
