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.
