Purpose: Public Speaking about the accomplishments that autistic people have done for the world and help educating people about autism around the world.
Autism Crusaders is an autism activist movement that advocate’s for educating about how much autistic people have contribute to society base on their skills as autistic individuals and proving that autism is a different yet natural way of the human brain rather than having a disability that needs to be cure.
History
In April 2015, Autism Crusaders founder Ryan Williams, took inspiration for his movement from Martin Luther King Jr, during the 1964 civil rights act. Ryan had a vision where one day society will welcome autistic people for who they are and their abilities rather than be misunderstood people who need to be cured.
Ryan made his first speaking appearance on February 14th, 2016, at his local church in Syracuse, New York. Where he spoke about his early life and how he created autism crusaders that can become the start of a new autism rights movement for equality.
