About the Journal
Established in December 2020, the Canadian Journal of Autism Equity is an open-access e-journal focused on critically engaging with a variety of equity discussions within the autism community and public policy. Seeking authorship primarily by first-voice Autistic people or people with lived experience with autism and intersectionality, the Journal seeks to offer a platform to amplify marginalized voices and share these perspectives with decision-makers and Canadians alike.
CJAE is currently published once each year, in April following World Autism Acceptance Day.

Vol. 6 No. 1 (2026): Stigma about Autism and Discrimination against Autistics
This sixth edition of the Canadian Journal of Autism Equity (CJAE) features works primarily about autistic Canadians' experiences with discrimination based on their being autistic, or stigma about autism more generally.

This issue of the Canadian Journal of Autism Equity explores themes of stigma and discrimination, topics which may be sensitive or difficult for some readers. As a companion to this issue, we’ve created a video on secondary trauma featuring insights and strategies from experienced social workers in the field. It is available on our YouTube page: <https://www.youtube.com/@canadianjournalofautismequity>.
