WHO WE ARE

Autastic was created by, for, and upheld by melanated autistic peoples. Borne of justice movements, personal need, and the ongoing collective demands for equity and equality for historically radicalized groups, Autastic is foremost about liberation.

We are adult-identified Black and brown autistic people around the globe coming together in community to pursue freedom of mind, body, and spirit. We resist pressures to disguise our true nature, to police ourselves for the comfort of others, and to exist in exhaustion. We come together to learn from each other, to inspire living our truth, and to practice the pursuit of #AutisticJoy. This site is a doorway. You’re invited to open it and explore with us.
