The demand became public
June 18 is Autistic Pride Day. The world noticed autism. The systems did not. June 18 is when we say so together, publicly, across 22 countries, with a formal demand that does not expire when the day ends.
What happened on June 18, 2026?
The public demand
On 18 June 2026, Autistic Pride Day, the six actions were issued as a formal public demand to governments, employers, and institutions. Not a statement of intent. A demand with mechanisms, built on years of community evidence, and already in the hands of more than 200 organisations across 22 countries.
The Think Autism Conference
Autistic voices, researchers, advocates, and decision makers. Online, free, and open to everyone wherever they are. The conference that produced the six actions returned on June 18 to mark the moment the demand landed publicly.
