Autistic Women and Nonbinary Network
The mission of autistic women & nonbinary network (AWN) is to provide community, support & resources for autistic women, girls, nonbinary people, and all others of marginalized genders. In fulfillment of our mission, AWN self-published 2 anthologies: all the weight of our dreams: on living racialized autism & what every autistic girl wishes her parents knew. The latter has been picked up by beacon publishing for republication in 2021. AWN hosts educational events, autism acceptance events, seminars and conferences with the focus on multiply marginalized disabled people, book readings and discussions centering on autism and disability, and social gathering meetups which provides community connection. AWN sponsors a fund which provides direct financial support to autistic people of color through micro-grants.
