Autistic Self-Advocacy in Kentucky

Did you know that Kentucky has two self-advocacy groups by and for autistic people? Autistics United Kentucky (AUK) and Kentuckiana Autistic Spectrum Alliance (KASA) engage in advocacy, social justice efforts, and community events, promoting the rights of all autistic people. We also have a lot of fun! Learn about some of our past, present, and future projects.
