Autistic Awareness and Support Fund

About

We are learning more about autism every day (formerly associated with terms such as Asperger’s Syndrome and others). Thanks to dedicated researchers, parents of autistic children, and most importantly, the autistic people who advocate for themselves, we know that autism is a constellation of neurodiverse characteristics, not a single spectrum or a checklist. We try to prioritize the organizations that not only support individuals and families, but that acknowledge autistic people’s rights to direct research that serves their communities, and campaign for accommodations that lead to fuller, happier lives.

We work to empower Autistic people across the world to take control of our own lives and the future of our common community, and seek to organize the Autistic community to ensure our voices are heard in the national conversation about us. Nothing About Us, Without Us!
