About the Author
The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) is a leading grassroots organization founded and led by autistic individuals, dedicated to advancing civil rights, dismantling systemic barriers, and promoting the full inclusion of autistic people in society. Established in 2006, ASAN empowers autistic voices through advocacy, education, and community-building initiatives that challenge stereotypes and foster self-determination. Their work spans policy reform, public awareness campaigns, and resource development to support autistic individuals across all life stages. With a commitment to 'Nothing About Us, Without Us,' ASAN continues to shape a more equitable world, ensuring autistic perspectives are central to discussions on disability rights, employment, healthcare, and education.
