Why #RedInstead?

Join the Autistic community in redefining the conversation around autism advocacy. Say goodbye to the past symbolism and embrace a movement that celebrates diversity and understanding. #RedInstead is a platform dedicated to supporting Autistic individuals, distinct from the outdated approach historically taken by Autism Speaks.

Elevate Autism Acceptance

On World Autism Day, step away from the "light it up blue" label and wear #RedInstead to demonstrate your solidarity. Respond to the call of Actually Autistic individuals, who are striving for a meaningful shift in autism advocacy. The blue symbolizes a past that no longer resonates with the genuine needs of the community. 

"Autism Acceptance not Awareness"

The Meaning Behind Red Instead #RedInstead

Red symbolizes love and passion in Western cultures, while in Asian cultures, it represents good fortune and joy. This powerful color embodies the change we seek - from fear to love, from misconception to acceptance. It's an embodiment of the Neurodiversity philosophy, celebrating the unique variations in human neurology.

Why Reject Blue?

The blue association with autism was rooted in outdated notions that fail to encompass the entire spectrum. Reject the past symbolism and steer clear of supporting the "light it up blue" message. Let's rise above the controversy and offer our support to Autistic individuals by wearing red or Light it up Gold.

Championing True Acceptance

Autism acceptance is about more than just awareness. It's about loving and embracing the unique identities of individuals on the spectrum. It's about rejecting futile pursuits of a "cure" and focusing on providing the necessary support for a fulfilling life. By wearing #RedInstead, you amplify the voices of the Autistic community and demonstrate your commitment to genuine acceptance.
