This brief is a product of Autism Alliance of Canada’s 2024 Canadian Autism Leadership Summit (“Summit”). It contains information about the event, what we talked about there, and what comes next for the Alliance based on the event.

Each province and territory in Canada is responsible for delivering services and supports to Autistic Canadians and their families. Since each jurisdiction is diverse, there are differences in how these services and supports are provided. A national autism strategy can provide an overarching framework that guides the approaches each jurisdiction takes to support Autistic people and their families across Canada.
