Adam Harris: We have come too far to return to the days of stigma about autism
“The minute you label somebody, they can unconsciously take on the features of that label. It doesn’t matter how you present it to them. They will learn in the world what being autistic means.”

Members of the #ActuallyAutistic community in Ireland, AsIAm's Same Chance Survey is your chance to tell us what life is like, and shape what issues you want us to highlight and how we can support you in 2025.

"A digital graphic from AsIAm, Ireland’s Autism Charity, promoting the 'Same Chance Survey 2025.' The text explains that the survey aims to understand the day-to-day experiences of Ireland’s autism community. The collected data will contribute to the 'Same Chance Report,' published in April for World Autism Month, providing a snapshot of autistic life in Ireland and informing advocacy efforts. The AsIAm logo, featuring the words 'As I Am' inside overlapping blue and green speech bubbles, appears in the top right corner. The background is light beige with design elements in green and blue.

AsIAm wants to hear #ActuallyAutistic people experiences in Ireland on loneliness and social exclusion. This will inform a policy paper to campaign to make things better. We'd really appreciate it if you feel comfortable to share your views and stories here: surveymonkey.com/r/BYDR9MT
Autistic Adult Loneliness Survey We are conducting a survey of Autistic adults that will explore the topic of loneliness. This survey will form the basis of a policy position paper on the topic that we will use to campaign for change in this area. The aim of this survey is to gain insights from Autistic adults in Ireland as to their experiences of loneliness and social isolation.
