Autistic Self Advocacy Network
ASAN is a national grassroots disability rights organization for the autistic community. We fight for disability rights. We work to make sure autistic people are included in policy-making, so that laws and policies meet our community's needs. We work to support all forms of self-advocacy and to change the way people think about autism. Our members and supporters include autistic adults and youth, cross-disability advocates, and non-autistic family members, professionals, educators, and friends.

Autism Spectrum News
ASN was developed to provide the autism community with a trusted source of evidence-based information and education, the latest in scientific research, clinical treatment best practices, family issues, advocacy, and vital community resources.
In keeping with the publication's evidence-based mission, the esteemed ASN Editorial Board will only accept articles and advertising offering science-based information and/or treatments proven safe and effective for autistic individuals.
