We are sooo excited and proud of the work that ASF Board Member, Elizabeth Bonker, has done to move legislation in NY, advocating for the Communication Bill of Rights. This bill will further the message of nonspeakers within communities and policies. Coming to #florida soon

We welcome growing attention to autism’s causes. Families deserve answers. The federal report on acetaminophen is a step forward, yet far more is needed. Ahead of Nonspeakers Awareness Day, we encourage deeper research, pharma accountability & real support for autistic people.
