Autistic Pride Chattanooga

A Global Movement, A Local Beginning Autistic Pride Day began as an international movement 20 years ago, created by autistic people to celebrate identity, culture, and community. Each June, autistic people around the world gather to affirm that we are not hidden, but honored. In 2026, Autistic Pride Chattanooga will host Chattanooga’s first autistic‑led Autistic Pride Day — and, as far as we know, the first Autistic Pride Day celebration in the entire Southeast. This event marks a milestone for our city and our region, joining the global celebration with a distinctly local, autistic‑led voice.
