We’re going to be putting out fewer statements, but that doesn’t mean we care any less. No matter what, ASAN is still fighting back and working towards making things better for everyone in our community.

Thanks to our lead ASAN Gala sponsor this year @dirfloortime.bsky.social! They're longtime supporters of ASAN, and sponsored "For Whose Benefit" and our new toolkit about profound autism. We're very grateful for their consistent uplifting of self-advocate perspectives.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is a way to communicate without talking, like using a letter board or typing on an iPad. We want AAC available for anyone who needs it, and for all autistic people to be supported to communicate in the way that works best for us.

Watercolor blue background, blue text reads: “October is Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Acceptance Month.” There’s a graphic of an orange AAC device that says “Communication is a human right!” The ASAN logo is below.
