On Autistic Pride Day June 18th @scotgov will again fly the Autistic Pride flag in Edinburgh - the first Gvt worldwide to recognise this important Autistic Community event. A day to reject shame and join together as a community to fight stigma and injustice.
Join us to celebrate Autistic Pride 2026:
Bellfield Park, Inverness, on Saturday 20 June, from 11am to 2pm. This free, family‑friendly gathering is open to autistic people of all ages, along with families, friends, and allies. More info: arghscotland.org/autistic-pr…
We’ve joined with some other Autistic People’s Organisations in Scotland to publish a shared manifesto ahead of May’s Scottish election. “Nothing about us without us.”

Joseph walked the West Highland Way to raise funds for ARGH & is reflecting on things that helped, 1.
@OraNurse sustainable toothbrush & flavour free toothpaste . The packing didn't disintegrate in the rain and did a good job keeping my teeth clean.

3. @baggage_freedom Very impressed by Baggage freedom, a baggage delivery company serving the west Highland way. Bags disappeared in the morning from my accommodation & arrived in the new one without any fuss. I had an unusual delivery request & that was done without a problem.
Joseph has finished his walk. Well done and thank you! Also thanks to all who have helped us to raise £1030. Every penny will go to helping Autistic people ❤️ Justgiving page still open (more pics posted there soon):

Day 8 update from Joseph:
‘Perfect Scottish hiking weather today. Overcast but no precipitation, temperature in the mid teens and a gentle breeze to keep the midges away. Now in Glencoe mountain resort campsite.
Only a marathon left of the walk to go!’
