What this organization does

ASAN is an autistic-led disability rights organization. It creates resources about self-advocacy, disability policy, autistic culture, accessibility, community living, and other issues affecting autistic people.

What you can find there

  • Accessible self-advocacy toolkits, books, reports, and policy briefs.
  • A resource library covering autism, accessibility, education, rights, and inclusion.
  • Action alerts and tools for participating in disability-policy advocacy.
  • Materials centered on autistic people speaking for themselves.

This may be useful when

  • You want autistic-led information rather than resources written only about autistic people.
  • You are learning self-advocacy or disability rights.
  • You need accessible policy explanations or community advocacy tools.

What to know before using it

ASAN is an advocacy organization, not a diagnostic clinic, therapy provider, emergency service, or individualized legal-case service.
