Please note that ASAN-PDX is a group that is ONLY for persons on the autistic spectrum who are 18+ and are either medically or self-diagnosed. Thank you for your understanding. (Non-autistic people are more than welcome to join us for our outside social advocacy events, and our yearly picnics, so please inquire for further information.)
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.
ASAN-PDX brings together young adults and adults who are on the autistic spectrum to share ideas, to give advice and support, and to create a learning environment for self advocacy.
We have a website up and running. Go check it out. You can leave comments on the bottom of the page if you have any suggestions to improve or make the site more accessible.
