Participants may sign up individually or with a team and enjoy food trucks, raffles, contests, music and much more. For the second year in a row, select inclusive businesses, transition organizations and state agencies will be on hand to share best practices and ideas as part of the "Inclusive Employment Showcase", aimed at helping the neurodiverse community navigate the often difficult paths to employment. Returning from a pandemic hiatus this year is the ASRC CT Autism Resource Fair, bringing together exhibitors from a variety of businesses and organizations that support the neurodiverse community.  Also returning this year as celebrity Master of Ceremonies will be News 8 Anchor/Reporter Sarah Cody.

"We strive to provide lifelong access to opportunities for persons on the autism spectrum," ASRC president, Julie Hipp, shares. "The Walk for Autism is ASRC's largest event to fund this vision, and we think it's incredibly informative to have the resource fair and employment showcase at the same time – and all at no charge to attendees!"

ASRC paved the way for Connecticut's Autism Community as the state's first advocacy organization and original Walk for Autism. Since 1997, over 30,000 people have participated in the Walk.

"All money raised stays in Connecticut to help develop inclusive social programs, employment readiness, and comprehensive training for families and professionals."
