Autistic Awareness and Support Fund
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.
