About us

Autism Empowerment is a passionate people-powered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization devoted to enriching and empowering the lives of children, teens, adults, and families in Autistic, Autism & Neurodivergent communities. Founded in Vancouver, WA in June 2011, our programs promote a culture of acceptance for all abilities and are piloted locally with the goal of expanding regionally, nationally, and worldwide. What makes us unique from other autism organizations is that our founders and each person on our Board of Directors are either on the autism spectrum or have autistic family members. The vision we work toward is culture change leading to a society that authentically accepts, includes and empowers all youth and adults on the autism spectrum, equipping each person to live their best life possible by pursuing the goals and dreams that matter most to them. We are also publishers of Spectrum Life Magazine, the only autistic-led publication of its kind in the Northwest. Come check us out at www.SpectrumLife.org. All back issues are free online.
