During this time you may see places where our previous name is still showing. Please feel free to ask us any questions if you run across anything that’s confusing. We’re hoping for a smooth transition and so far so good!! We couldn’t be more pleased and excited to be sharing this journey with all of you!!

Social Meetup Groups
Social Meetup Groups donations will help us come together for planned activities, outings and social meetups at a variety of venues such as

coffee shops, restaurants, movie nights, arts & crafts days and more.
Donations will also go toward transportation vouchers. Examples include gas vouchers for those in need of financial assistance or to help those in rural areas where public transportation is limited and inaccessible.
Advocacy & Activism
AWN seeks to develop informational materials in several areas to educate the public about the Autistic experience and to provide support and advocacy to these communities:
AWN’s Committee on Autism & Ethnicity aims to educate the public about the impact of race and culture on our Autistic identities. The committee runs a grant program for Autistic people of color. See details here.
DIVERgent is an initiative of AWN that seeks to explore the intersections of feminism and disability.
AWN’s Women’s Health Provider Survey will provide a comprehensive database of intimate care providers. These providers offer accessible and sensory friendly care for Autistic women and girls.
Networking & Web Development
AWN provides an interactive website to educate, empower and provide support. Donations will pay for costs associated with all web development, maintenance and security upgrades in order to provide online resources to our community.
Your support will also help AWN publish a newsletter and to educate and advocate via various social media platforms.
Thank you so very much for your support!!
