We are documenting Autistic culture in our articles, and we are centring Autistic lived experiences via participatory Autistic research, by actively supporting Autistic research projects, by coordinating Autistic peer support, by catalysing the co-creation of NeurodiVentures, and by curating useful tools developed by neurodivergent people for neurodivergent people. As part of the neurodiversity movement, we are curating timeless concepts for nurturing and describing ecologies of care.

Join us!

The Autistic Collaboration community is catalysing intersectional solidarity via quarterly participant driven events that provide a safe space for neurodivergent, indigenous, and otherwise marginalised people to engage in omni-directional learning and mutual aid.

We are currently co-creating a comprehensive support model for Autists and otherwise neurodivergent and intersectionally marginalised people that is grounded in our collective lived experience, informed by what we are learning from the results of our ongoing participatory research. In the coming months we aim to incrementally roll out mutual aid and support modalities that cover the full range of human scale time horizons.

If you appreciate our articles and the tireless community building efforts of our volunteers, and if you would like to help us scale our peer support capacity, you can make a donation to the Autistic Collaboration Trust (reg.no. CC59262).

Most importantly, you can help us catalyse systemic change, and contribute to a few Autistic livelihoods, by spreading the word about AutCollab Education courses for healthcare professionals, educators, and employers.
