Check out the new Welcome to the Autistic Community!

Everyone at ASAN was new to the autistic community at one point. There were times when we felt alone, when we did not understand our disability or know how to communicate our needs. Since then, we’ve learned a lot about the autistic community, neurodiversity, and self-advocacy, and it’s important to us to share that knowledge with others who might just be starting to understand autism.
