World Autism Day – April 2 💙

April is an exciting time!

Autism Edmonton is celebrating April as Autism Appreciation Month. We highlighted why the other day, but suffice to say, we appreciate the community around us so, so much. We want to recognize the folks who have helped shape not only our organization but also the community and broader autism movement.

Dr. Heather Brown – an Autistic researcher passionate about supporting the academic achievement and overall well-being of Autistic children, youth and adults

Dr. David Nicholas – head of the Social Work Department in U of C and focusing on navigation and aging adults

Catherine Cicuttini – created the first Autistic Women’s+ Retreat at Autism Edmonton!

Dr. Angela Feehan – Postdoctoral Researcher and Speech Language Pathologist interested in the intersection between language development, mental health, and neurodevelopment

Jessica Burylo - an Autistic self-advocate, doctoral student at the University of Alberta, and accessibility leader focused on advancing inclusion and identity-centered wellbeing

Dr. Grant Bruno – provincial advocate, creating culturally responsive healthcare models supporting Indigenous youth in the area of neurodiversity

Amanda Montey – creating safe space and learning for Autistic and ADHD individuals

Terri Robson – older adult Autistic advocate raising awareness

Emily Coombs - advancing 2SLGBTQIA+ autistic representation in academia

Dr. Lonnie Zwaigenbaum (and the whole ARC team) – Director of the Autism Research Centre, focusing on early development in autism

Our very own Morine Rossi – who lives, breathes, and works autism and truly is a champion for Autism Edmonton

It would be impossible to include everyone in this list, and it really is just a sample of some incredible people in our community.

This month, take some time to learn more about the work being done, celebrate the autistic and neurodivergent people in your life, and while this doesn’t erase systemic issues that create challenges, it’s still important to celebrate joy!

🍕 Day Program Cooking Class – March 24 🍕
This week our participants rolled up their sleeves and got creative in the kitchen! They prepared deep‑dish mini pizzas, choosing their own toppings and learning hands‑on cooking skills along the way.
Everyone had a great time mixing, baking, and of course… tasting their delicious creations! 😄👏
Great job, everyone — we’re already excited for our next cooking adventure!

HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support our semester-end Theatreworks performance in partnership with Stageworks Academy! 🎭

We were so excited to have Mayor Lars Hansen - City of Leduc, Councillor Brett Baynes, representatives from the Leduc FCSS Board and LINX Board, and so many family members in the audience. We even convinced Councillor Baynes to join us on “stage”!

Our participants absolutely shined — showcasing their improv, musical theatre, and growing confidence in such a big way. We couldn’t be more proud of the courage and creativity they brought to the performance.

A special thank you to the City of Leduc for the grant support that helps make opportunities like this possible. 💛
