ASAN-PDX is working to promote civil rights, services, supports, education, public understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity. We oppose the causation/cure agenda, pseudo-science, demonization and unethical and offensive portrayals of Autistic people.
The ASAN PDX Social / Support group brings young adults and adults (18+ ONLY) who are on the autistic spectrum together to share ideas, to give advice and support, and to create a learning environment for self advocacy.
