Last but not least, let’s get to our award ceremony! Watch the livestream on YouTube starting NOW: #ASANGala This year’s theme is We Weave Our Own Story, a tribute to the ways in which we all build networks of support for our communities. Every patch, every thread, every bit of work makes a quilt stronger, and our community is strongest when we support and care for each other too.

Mel Baggs, a visionary autistic writer and advocate, has died. Mel was a pillar of the autistic community; ASAN, and neurodiversity as we know it today, would not exist without hir. We are heartbroken. Our thoughts are with Mel's loved ones. Over the last few years, Mel documented hir struggles with a service system that would not meet hir independent living needs. ASAN was working with Mel on this issue. It is a massive systems failure that Mel's needs went unmet in hir last years. Sie deserved so much better.

This #GivingTuesday we’re hosting an #AntiPhonathon! We hate making phone calls, and we know many other autistic people do too, so we won’t be calling you to ask for money. Instead, we’re asking asking you to help us spread the word. #GivingTuesday is happening December 3rd this year! #GivingTuesday is a chance to donate to causes you care about, in the spirit of the holiday season.
