Stand With Science the Autism Community
Join Aspiritech in calling for responsible, evidence-based public health messaging.
We believe that every autistic person deserves to be allowed to live a life of dignity and acceptance. Recent changes to the CDC’s language about vaccines and autism undermine decades of scientific consensus, fuel misinformation, and contribute to increased stigmatization and real harm, including vaccine hesitancy and the erosion of trust in public health guidance.
The science is clear: Vaccines do not cause autism. Suggesting otherwise doesn’t protect children, but it does put communities at risk and deepens dangerous narratives about autistic people.
Defend Truth, Safety, and Human Dignity
We are calling on the CDC and public health leaders to uphold rigorous, evidence-based communication that protects communities and respects autistic individuals for who they are. Not as a risk, not as something to be “prevented,” but as valued members of our nation and world.
This kind of misinformation contributes to discrimination and hurts autistic people and the broader public. As a neurodiversity-centered organization, we see the impact of these falsehoods firsthand, and we refuse to let such narratives go unchallenged.
