Autism Society of Los Angeles

Today marks Juneteenth, a day to recognize & celebrate the freedom of enslaved people in America. Juneteenth provides another opportunity to address the health inequities that greatly affect the Black & BIPOC communities, especially as it ties into early screening and diagnosis for Autism. ASLA is committed to advancing equity and supporting a future where all members of the Autism community can thrive.

The Autism Society of America opposes today’s announcement by the Department of Education to move special education and civil rights enforcement out of the agency. For decades, Congress, across party lines, has kept these programs united under one roof because it works.
Dismantling this system fragments the critical journey from school to employment, putting nearly 1 million autistic students at risk of falling through bureaucratic cracks.
We must protect the rights and futures of our students.
