Jozi 4 Autism

About

We are Jozi 4 Autism.

We’re for autism awareness, social integration, and accessible services and support for autism in Johannesburg.


We aim to:


  • Promote awareness of the prevalence of autism in Johannesburg with a particular focus on under-represented communities
  • Encourage social integration of children and families on the autism spectrum within the context of the community
  • Promote accessible delivery of services and support networks for autism in Johannesburg


After the inaugural awareness walk in 2016, we had hoped to host a walk for autism acceptance every year, growing in numbers year after year, until Johannesburg hears our collective voices calling for the provision of education, health, and therapeutic services for the many families struggling with autism in their communities alone.

However, Jozi 4 Autism, like everyone else, had to cancel our 2020 event due to COVID-19 and have not been able to host another one, until now!


We hope that the spirit of Ubuntu that was felt at our walks from 2016 to 2019 will be felt once more as we prepare to host our annual awareness walk once more.

Let us rally our support around our autistic family, friends, and people we work with, because we are STRONGER TOGETHER.
