2025 Autism Acceptance Month Events in Las Vegas
April is here and with it comes a powerful opportunity to celebrate, connect, and advocate.
At Grant a Gift Autism Foundation - Ackerman Center, Autism Acceptance & Awareness Month is more than a calendar event—it’s a movement. A reminder that neurodiversity makes our community stronger. That every person on the autism spectrum brings unique talents, perspectives, and stories that deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Throughout the Las Vegas Valley, local organizations, families, and advocates are coming together all month long to uplift and empower. Whether it’s through joyful community gatherings, resource-rich workshops, or meaningful fundraisers, each event is a step toward greater inclusion, understanding, and love.
We’re proud to share this year’s lineup of events designed to support, educate, and inspire. There’s something for everyone—because building a more inclusive world takes all of us.
