AANE stands for the Association for Autism and Neurodiversity. They provide individuals, families, and professionals with education, community and support, in an inclusive atmosphere of validation and respect.

In the US today, there are 5-million-plus Autistic adults and 1 in 36 8-year-olds are Autistic.* Each of these individuals are unique and they experience autism differently.

All of these individuals and their families deserve access to support across the lifespan. Since 1996, AANE has been working toward our vision: a world where Autistic people belong and thrive.

AANE helps Autistic and similarly Neurodivergent people build meaningful, connected lives.

We provide individuals, families, and professionals with education, community, and support in an inclusive atmosphere of validation and respect.
