Autism is not a disability; it’s a unique trait that enriches our world. Those with autism are not defined by their differences, but by the remarkable qualities they bring to society. At Future University, we believe that individuals with autism are here to complement us, offering unique perspectives and enriching the diversity of our community. On April 16th, 2025, we will celebrate this uniqueness through the “As I Am” Autism Marathon, coinciding with Global Autism Awareness Day.
At Future University, we strive to create an environment where everyone, regardless of their abilities, feels included and valued. The “As I Am” Autism Marathon is an initiative dedicated to spreading awareness, fostering acceptance, and celebrating the diverse contributions of those with autism. We are proud to host this event in collaboration with the Autism Association, offering an exciting opportunity to engage with our community and raise awareness about autism in a meaningful way.
