About Autism Acceptance
Our Mission
To empower autistic individuals in the Cayman Islands by fostering acceptance, promoting inclusivity, providing essential resources and support, educating the community to create a culture of understanding, and advocating for them and their families. We are driven by a bold vision: a Cayman Islands where autistic individuals are celebrated, supported, and fully included in every corner of community life.
Who We Are
Autism Acceptance is a born from the hearts of autism parents, neurodivergent individuals, and dedicated allies who saw a gap—a lack of safe spaces, true inclusion, and understanding for the autistic community in the Cayman Islands. This was a call to action. The spark came from lived experience—parents, neurodivergent individuals, and allies united by the daily realities of stigma, limited resources, and exclusion. Despite a large autistic community in Cayman, too many are not accepted.
