We encourage those who wish to make positive changes in the community to become members of ASAN chapters or, for those who currently live in an area without an ASAN local group, to contact our Chapter Coordinator, Elesia Ashkenazy, about starting a new chapter. Through our work on both the local and national levels, we seek to improve the representation of the Autistic community in the public conversation about autism and to improve the community's reach to make it accessible and meaningful for all Autistic people.

We are an entirely volunteer-run organization. None of our board members, officers, support staff, mentors, or other personnel are paid a salary. As such, all contributions go towards improving our ability to advocate for the autism spectrum. Internet-based donations can be made through change.org by clicking on the "Donate Now" button to the left of the screen. Please email donations@autisticadvocacy.org to learn more about how you can contribute to ASAN to support our outreach and advocacy efforts.
