Adam Harris CEO of AsIAm, at the 'Say yes to autism acceptance' campaign launch
Autism and neurodivergence advocacy group AsIAm is running #SayYesDay, an online fundraiser, to help with the cost of scaling up its ability to serve people and families over the course of the Covid-19 crisis, where it has worked with over 1,500 families — responding to a 280% increase in inquiries to the group.
The organisation is now looking toward the end of the Covid crisis, and toward helping families living with autism — 1 in 65 here in Ireland — be part of reshaping society, post-pandemic.
🎉HAPPY SAY YES DAY!🎉

“The autism community of Ireland have never been so isolated, disconnected and vulnerable," says group CEO, Adam Harris.
"Although the entire population have been devastated by the effects of Covid-19, our autism community have been significantly impacted with the closure of services, loss of vital routine, isolation and the anxiety-inducing news cycle.
"We are now looking to the future, and the supports that we must put in place to ensure our community and their families are supported in a post Covid-19 world. €4 will go a long way in making this happen.”
