Today, as part of Autism Awareness Month, we are starting the “Chain of Strength” flashmob. Its goal is to show that autistic children have strong qualities, including attention to detail, creativity, and resilience, which shape their contribution to society.
With this online initiative, we want to show that we are many, we are diverse, and at the same time we are one community without borders. European participants can join through the English version, while Ukrainian participants can take part via the Ukrainian version of the post.
What do you need to do to become a link in the Chain? It’s simple and quick:
1️⃣ Share this post on your page
2️⃣ Choose one strong trait of your child and describe it in one sentence. For example: “My child has an incredible memory – they helped us plan the evacuation.”
3️⃣ Add the country where you currently live: “I am from Ukraine!”, “I am from Poland!”, or “I am from Belgium!”
4️⃣ Add the phrase: “I add my link!”
5️⃣ To make sure your link is seen, use the hashtags #ChainOfStrength2026 #AutismDay2026 (all hashtags can be copied from the pinned comment under the post)
Your final post should look like this:
“My child has an incredible memory – they helped us plan the evacuation. I am from Ukraine! I add my link!” #ChainOfStrength2026 #AutismDay2026
Photos, videos, and sharing are welcome, but optional.
We will collect the Chain of Strength posts until April 24th, for 18 days, marking the number of years the world has been observing World Autism Awareness Day. After that, we will show the length of the chain that we created together!
Let this Chain also become our shared contribution to the Autism Europe campaign in April 2026. Share, join, and take care of yourselves!
