Nobody should have to live in poverty. Compared to non-disabled people, a lot of disabled people live in poverty. We believe the government needs to support programs that make sure disabled people have the money we need to survive. buff.ly/3BEYm2C

Our own work here at ASAN would not be possible without the generosity of monthly members and donations from our community that allow us to provide free trainings, toolkits, and other resources on our rights to self-advocates. Will you support our work? buff.ly/4f01QdP

Some people think that autistic people can’t understand things like marriage and sex and we shouldn’t be allowed to date, get married, or have kids. ASAN believes that every autistic person has the right to find love, marry, have sex, and have children. buff.ly/3DqC2ub
