This past Thursday we hosted our third and final Back to School Presentation of this series. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all three of our presenters for making time for this series. When planning this fundraiser, we wanted to take this opportunity to promote topics that are relevant to our current climate and that highlight our community members’ expertise. The presenters’ passion for their subjects shined through and their knowledge allowed our attendees to leave with new approaches to their advocacy toolboxes.

Along with our presenters, we want to say thank you to those that bought tickets to this series. Fundraisers like these, and those we host throughout the year, allow ASAN to continue to work towards our mission and create resources by the autistic community for the autistic community. Each day, we are seeing an increase in attacks against the autistic and disability community [[link removed]]. But we know that we keep us safe. One way to do that is to continue your support of ASAN and other disability organizations. It’s people like you that allow us to continue this work, especially when times are tough.

Though the live presentations are over, there is still time to participate in this fundraiser! Recordings of the three presentations will be available through the last day of September. You can still purchase tickets for an individual presentation at the links below or buy the presentation bundle here and have access to all three presentations [[link removed]].
