This list is a collection of organizations for Disability and/or Autism advocacy & acceptance. I am an imperfect person, so please reach out to me if I have listed a harmful organization. To see a brief blurb about each organization, click the "quote". It will open a collapsible that displays the organization's mission/goal.
I've listed mostly Autistic focused groups, but some websites have resources on disability as a whole. I've decided to thin out this list as I've come to realize there are leagues better lists out there... And that I'm not very well suited to make a comprehensive list.

International Organizations

(Technically not a organization, but has a plethora of info/resources/ect. US-based but fits internationally from my observations)
Thinking Persons Guide to Autism - Quote from the TPGA website:

"Thinking Person’s Guide to Autism (TPGA) is the resource we wish had been available when we and/or our autistic loved ones were first diagnosed.

Autism misinformation clouds and is perpetuated by the Internet; we aim to create a reliable, centralized, and accessible resource by writing, curating, and sharing original autism news and articles. We also want to help new autism community members develop a positive yet realistic attitude, and to appreciate autistic people’s strengths while supporting their struggles."

NeuroClastic - Quote from the NueroClastic website:

"We are a collective of Autistic people responsive to the evolving needs and trajectory of the Autistic community.

By publishing autistic voices, we are cataloguing the intersectional experiences, insights, knowledge, talents, and creative pursuits of Autistics. We follow a unique model of interdependence, leveraging the passions, skills, and specializations of contributors to create a living repository of information cataloging the autistic experience.

We aim for a future that is more accepting, accommodating, and empowering for autistic people. Our organization platforms autistic voices, prioritizing those who are underrepresented in autistic self-advocacy, and our contributors create free, accessible resources for autistic people and non-autistic parents, educators, service providers, partners, and other people who interact with autistic people."

United States based Organizations


ASAN (Autistic Self Advocacy Network) - Quote from the ASAN website:

"The Autistic Self Advocacy Network seeks to advance the principles of the disability rights movement with regard to autism. ASAN believes that the goal of autism advocacy should be a world in which autistic people enjoy equal access, rights, and opportunities. We work to empower autistic people across the world to take control of our own lives and the future of our common community, and seek to organize the autistic community to ensure our voices are heard in the national conversation about us. Nothing About Us, Without Us!"


AWN (Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network) - Quote from the AWN website:
"The mission of Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network (AWN) is to provide community support, and resources for Autistic women, girls, transfeminine and transmasculine nonbinary people, trans people of all genders, Two Spirit people, and all people of marginalized genders or of no gender. AWN is committed to recognizing and celebrating diversity and the many intersectional experiences in our community."

Canadian based Organizations


Communication Disabilities Access Canada (CDAC) - Quote from CDAC:

"CDAC promotes communication accessibility to goods and services. Over the years, CDAC has developed a range of resources that are used by thousands of people in Canada and internationally. These include individuals who have disabilities that affect their communication, accessibility policy makers, human rights lawyers, researchers, and clinicians, as well as community businesses, organizations and government groups.
As of January 1, 2022, due to lack of sustainable funding, CDAC is an online resource only."

A4A (Autistic 4 Autistic) - Quoted from the A4A website:
"Autistics 4 Autistics (A4A) is a collective of autistic adults engaged in community education, events, activism and advocating for reform to Canadian autism policy. We are self-advocates — meaning that neither our parents nor service providers advocate “for” us. We are proudly autistic and united in supporting all autistics in the province on the issues that impact our community."
A4A is currently only in Ontario and New Brunswick.

LAST (London Autistics Standing Together) - Quote from the LAST website:

"We formed in 2016 in response to a lack of support for adults on the Autism spectrum, as well as a lack of intersectionality in mainstream Autism organizations. We currently run a peer support group for Autistic adults, and we are looking to expand what we do to include more advocacy for disability rights, as well as education for the broader community about Autism, and Autistic rights, and to provide social opportunities for people on the autism spectrum."

Autistics United Canada - Quote from the AUC website:

"Autistics United (AU) Canada is a grassroots advocacy organization by and for Autistic people in what is colonially known as Canada.

Our first chapter was founded in 2014, as Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) Vancouver. Autistics United Canada was later established out of ASAN chapters based in Canada in 2017, with now five chapters in Vancouver (Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Territory), Comox Valley (K'ómoks Territory), Fort McMurray (Cree, Dene, Dane-zaa Territory and Homeland of the Métis Nation), Manitoba (Anishnaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene Territory, and Homeland of the Métis Nation), and Nova Scotia (Wabanaki Confederacy and Mi’kmaq Territory), as well as a network of autistic self-advocates across the country.

AU Canada has worked hard to promote the inclusion of Autistic people in the conversations and decisions that affect our lives. All our leadership positions are held by Autistic people, reflecting our core value: “Nothing About Us, Without Us!”"
