Miss California United States - 2022

Amanda Ford

My platform is Autism Acceptance because my little sister, Kaitlin, has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. From the young age of 10, I knew I wanted to help individuals like my sister. This quickly grew into a passion as I started volunteering, when I was 12, at the First 5 organization as a youth mentor for children on the spectrum. I then became a peer fitness trainer at the gym fitness for autism to help teens and young adults with autism learn about physical and mental health. Today, I continue to volunteer with the Autism Society and the Organization for Autism Research, working to educate others on what Autism is and how they can be a friend and allies to those with this diagnosis.
