Hoodie Up for autism
Champion inclusion with us and hoodie or hat up to show your support for Autistic people and their families!
Every year in April, Amaze celebrates World Autism Month by holding our annual ‘Hoodie Up’ campaign which promotes understanding, acceptance and inclusion of the Autistic community. But our 2024 campaign is set to be bigger and better than ever.
How can you get involved?
This year we are encouraging everyone to hoodie or hat up with an item from our official 2024 Amaze Hoodie and Hats collection.
Ever noticed someone wearing a hoodie up over their ears in a busy environment or a hat or sunglasses inside? Some Autistic people can be particularly sensitive to and overwhelmed by certain types of sensory stimuli such as lights, sound, heat, touch and smells. But being able to block out some of the sensory overwhelm they experience by wearing a hoodie or putting on a hat can make the world of difference and help them to feel comfortable, calm and regain their focus.
In collaboration with our official Hoodie Up campaign merchandise supplier, Game Day Apparel, we are releasing a limited-edition range of Amaze hoodies and hats to celebrate Hoodie Up 2024.
How does my support help Autistic people and their families?
Funds raised through Hoodie Up will help deliver vital support for Autistic people and their families so they can live their best lives. Proceeds from the sale of all official Amaze merchandise will go towards ensuring Amaze can continue to:
– Provide Autistic people and their families with critical and best-practice support and information,
– Platform the voices and lived experience of the Autistic community to influence government policy and community attitudes,
– Advocate for better systems and the champion the rights of Autistic people, and
– Work with organisations, governments, schools, healthcare systems and the community to create a more autism inclusive Australia.
