World Autism Day Statement: On this the inaugural World Autism Day ASAN Australia asks society to recognize the existence, needs and aspirations of Autistic Adults living in our society.
IACC Urged to Pursue New Direction: We live in a society where the lives and opinions of individuals with disabilities are viewed as less valuable and less deserving of basic human respect than those of other citizens. The IACC must break with that mindset and we encourage the Committee to pursue a new direction in autism research to maximize quality of life and opportunity for every person on the autism spectrum…
ASAN Urges Autistic Membership on Autism Task Force: However experienced the many experts and advocates are about autism issues, we adults who are ourselves on the autism spectrum know the issues and needs that face our population better than anyone.
ASAN Endorses Pilot Initiative: ASAN President Ari Ne’eman presented testimony to the New Jersey Legislature in support of an initiative to provide autism services and discussed the need to ensure representation for people on the autism spectrum in public policy discussion.
