The Autastic Community is a private community centering adult-identified autistic melanated people πͺπ½πͺπΎπͺπΏ
Not BIPOC? π Check out our other Autastic spaces.
Built #ForUsByUs, our monthly social clubs change lives.
Some of us built careers, started families, or retired after a lifetime of service. Others did none of those things. What unites us? Most of us never knew autism applied to us.
Here, youβll find peers who share what you thought was yours alone.
This is a global, intergenerational, multicultural, accepting space.Β We are all genders, sexual orientations, faiths, abilities, and nationalities. Come as you are.
Questioning, self-identified, or formally diagnosed? Youβre welcome here.
Just realized today or known for a while? You belong.
Craving a personal, connected, slow, and inclusive space? This is it.

Because yes, we deserve nice things. Paid, premium experiences and support make it possible to keep membership accessible to most.

Connection. We show up authentically with ππ½Β real profile photos + real bios ππ½ while maintaining privacy.

Diane J. Wright | Founder, Autastic
ππ½ Glad you found us!Β I'm Diane, the first ever Disability Policy Fellow at University of Michiganβs Ford Center for Racial Justice and a member of the Disability Belongs Entertainment Media Consulting Team. Learn more about me here.
After years of struggling in the allistic wilds, I built Autastic to change our most defining experienceβfor good.
It took time, effort, imagination, and persistence to create this space. But you make it real. You make it matter.Β
A percentage of every dollar we take in goes directly to autistic people of color through our give-back initiatives.
π« And THANK YOU! ππ½
