FOUND OUT YOU’RE AUTISTIC?

WELCOME TO THE CLUB.

The Autastic Community is a private community centering adult-identified autistic melanated people 💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿

Not BIPOC? 👉 Check out our other Autastic spaces.

Built #ForUsByUs, our monthly social clubs change lives.

WE ARE UNIQUE IN THE AUTISTIC COMMUNITY

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, you’ll find peers who share what you thought was yours alone.
This is a global, intergenerational, multicultural, accepting space. We are all genders, sexual orientations, faiths, abilities, and nationalities. Come as you are.

 WE ARE AUTASTIC 

Questioning, self-identified, or formally diagnosed? You’re welcome here.
Just realized today or known for a while? You belong.

Craving a personal, connected, slow, and inclusive space? This is it.

👋🏽 Glad you found us! I'm Diane, the first ever Disability Policy Fellow at University of Michigan’s 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 experience—for good.

WHAT AUTASTIC COMMUNITY
MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY

THIS COMMUNITY EXISTS BECAUSE OF YOU 🫵🏽

It took time, effort, imagination, and persistence to create this space. But you make it real. You make it matter. 

A percentage of every dollar we take in goes directly to autistic people of color through our give-back initiatives.

👉🏽 If you're able, DONATE HERE 👈🏽

💫 And THANK YOU! 🙏🏽
