Autism Advocacy at UCLA was founded in hopes of providing resources for students to connect and come together to help spread knowledge about autism, educate our peers, and serve those on our campus and in our community. Through fundraising events, volunteering, and various advocacy projects and efforts, we educate students and faculty members on how they are able to make a difference and empower the Autism community in the Los Angeles area. Our goal is to foster an environment of understanding of those on the spectrum and to emphasize learning about Autism from those on the spectrum's experiences rather than merely "raising awareness" of Autism.
