CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Social 2: Advocacy and Identity in Action is designed for autistic adults who are ready to build confidence, strengthen their voice, and take meaningful steps toward self-advocacy and civic engagement. Through guided instruction, hands-on activities, and peer collaboration, participants will deepen their understanding of personal identity, legal rights, and the power of advocacy in real-world settings. 

Over four weekly sessions, participants will: 

• Define and demonstrate advocacy and self-advocacy skills in everyday situations 

• Identify their personal strengths, needs, and preferences to support decision-making 

• Create self-advocacy scripts for use in school, work, and social environments 

• Learn about civic rights and responsibilities, including how to register and vote 

• Understand laws that affect their lives and explore ways to make their voices heard 

• Practice speaking confidently with peers, employers, and elected officials 

This course empowers learners to move from self-awareness to action—equipping them with the tools, language, and strategies to advocate for themselves and others. Whether preparing for a job, engaging in their community, or standing up for what matters most, participants will leave this course with real skills for real-world advocacy.
