Hanif reads statement on rainbow infinity symbol and bill purpose
The statement says autism and neurodivergence are not problems to be solved but communities to celebrate. It describes the rainbow infinity symbol and says Reso 510 would declare June 18 Autistic Pride Day in New York City.
And I want to make it clear, autism and neurodivergence is not a problem to be solved, but instead a community to be celebrated.
The symbol of this day is a rainbow infinity sign, which is fitting to embody the infinite diversity, potential, and future of the autism and neurodivergent community.
This is why my bill, Reso 510, will declare June 18th annually as Autistic Pride Day in New York City.
This bill will make sure that this community that is far too often neglected or unsupported will get the recognition, respect, and visibility they deserve.
