EvoAutism

EvoAutism Foundation is a New York City-based global autism advocacy nonprofit and a 501(c)(3) public charity. It works to change how autism is understood by bringing lived experiences into public life and connecting visible barriers with practical solutions and decision-makers. The foundation’s approach is informed by founder Iuliia Bazhan’s personal experience of being diagnosed on the autism spectrum as a child. Independent of any clinic, provider, or single methodology, EvoAutism says it designs individualized programs by identifying specialists, approaches, and resources suited to each child’s needs.

Its flagship initiative, Autism Through Talent, is a participant-led photography and storytelling exhibition developed with autistic people. Portraits are paired with first-person accounts shaped with each participant, supporting agency and self-representation while challenging stereotypes and diagnostic labels. The foundation also offers public programs, educational work, and opportunities for museums and other institutions to host the exhibition. It invites autistic people and organizations to share practical insights and observed outcomes, and welcomes requests for support.
