In the UK if I was supporting an autism charity it'd be The National Autistic Society http://www.autism.org.uk but I'm looking for autism charities in the USA.

Obviously the big one is Autism Speaks, which whether we're pro-cure or anti-cure I'd assume the majority of us don't want money going to them due to their being anti-autism and promoters of hate against us. So does anyone have any suggestions for charities within the USA that support autistic people and are in favour of neurodiversity....

ASAN might be a good option.

Look into GRASP.org. They seem to be focusing on on including autistic pov' s in relevant discussions.
