Vote the Spectrum®.

Adults with autism and/or other disabilities: Be informed! Be engaged!

Let’s broaden the spectrum of democracy.

Public policy drives issues that impact the daily lives of individuals with autism and/or other disabilities. Vote the Spectrum empowers self-advocates, their families and allies with tools, information and opportunities to participate in civic life, better understand the voting process, and increase engagement in the decisions affecting them and their communities.  

What are the issues? 

  • Housing
  • Healthcare
  • Education
  • Employment
  • Communityinclusion

How does Vote the Spectrum increase engagement?

  • Civic education events 
  • Voter registration
  • Online resources
  •  Volunteer opportunities

Get informed.
Get involved.

Turning 18 can present important decisions related to voting, decision-making and civic participation for individuals with autism and/or other disabilities. Vote the Spectrum encourages self-advocates and families to seek informed guidance and understand their rights.

“Every person living with autism or a disability—along with their family members, caregivers, teachers, therapists, healthcare teams and supportive community members—must recognize that their voices and votes matter.”
