Shifting the Narrative: #REDInstead Advocates for Autism Acceptance

Will you be going #REDInstead this April?

The #REDInstead movement is all about changing the way we see autism. It urges us from mere awareness to a deeper appreciation and celebration of autistic individuals for their unique selves. Far from being just a dialogue, #REDInstead serves as a call to action, inviting us to value the diverse strengths and capabilities of each individual.

Why Red?

Choosing "red" intentionally sets a new tone. Historically, autism awareness has been symbolized by the color blue, but #REDInstead chooses red to mark a fresh, empowering perspective. Red represents our passion and commitment to viewing autism through a lens of strength and acceptance, and embracing differences with love and respect.

Joining Forces for Change

Perspectives is proud to support the #REDInstead movement, working for a world where autistic people are truly valued and celebrated. Joining this cause, we highlight how important it is for everyone to support and understand each other. By having real talks, being part of events, and sharing stories that inspire, we're doing more than just making people aware of autism. We're helping bring about a big, positive change.

This Autism Acceptance Month, let’s wear red and show our support for a world that cherishes the unique strengths and contributions of everyone in the autism community.
