What we’re about
Bay Area Autism Collective (BAAC) is dedicated to creating a world where autistic people have access to robust social support that holds space for shared experiences and our most vulnerable issues. We strive for unfettered access to autism-informed, autism-affirming resources. We are the vanguards of advocacy that will advance our self-determination and autonomy while challenging and liberating ourselves from ableist and eugenicist agendas.

- In the group, we are all autistic and have full reign to unmask and be ourselves.
- No one will be rushed or obligated to speak.
- Members can use the chat to participate or just hang out and observe.
- Members aren’t obligated to have their cameras on.
- Attendees can multi-task while we meet.
- All are free to stim, fidget, eat, or drink, and do anything that makes them comfortable while the group meets.
