Advocating for yourself can be challenging. Perhaps you’re an Autistic adult, struggling to make your views, needs, and wishes truly heard. Maybe you are a parent, determined to advocate for your child. Or you have a friend or relative who, for a variety of reasons, can’t effectively communicate for themselves. Although some individuals may be naturally comfortable with advocating, remember that advocacy skills can be learned and practised. If needed, ask a close friend, family member, or an advocacy organization for support.
