Muslimah Next Door
Ask Autistic Muslims and Other Individuals What would Help
Contact an autism advocacy organization that is operated by autistic people, such as the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), for recommendations on developing a mosque experience that welcomes autistic people. While the experiences and recommendations of parents, such as myself, can be helpful, you should start by centering autistic people’s voices and views. The next four suggestions can be good if you can’t get in touch with autistic Muslims who can offer practical suggestions.
