Can NTs do anything to support Autistic Pride Day?
I don't see why not, but other NT's may not take you as seriously.
But it would be good to have support for some people off the spectrum. 
Let "the outsiders" know we're not all delusional.

Aspie - duh, it's autistic pride day 
NT - another "duh", especially if they have autistic friends
The only thing of concern is curebies hijacking the day and "raising awareness". This is why we named it Autistic PRIDE Day. As for what to do on the day, most people do something simple such as having a small picnic with family or organising/attending a larger event. The key part is that it's a day to celebrate the polar opposite of what the curebies would have us all depressed about. It's a day of celebration and fun, not a day of protest or a political event.
