Hi Friends!

 

I want to give a big thank you to all of our community members for your continued support. We are so thrilled about the future of our organization, and happy to announce that we have officially obtained non-profit status! We would not have been able to do so without your continued engagement & support, and we are thrilled for what this will allow us to do for the future. Non-profit status allows us to obtain funding & expand our services.

 

As an original community member myself, I am so proud of how far we have come. It has been wonderful watching our groups grow & connections made between members. I am so grateful for this space we all continue to foster.

 

As we close our 2024, and look to the future, we hope to continue expanding & serving the community. If you want to help, consider making a donation here, or reaching out to info@autismonthego.org to see how you can get involved!

 

Thanks again & all the best,

Winter Plott (they/she), President of the Neurodiversity & Advocacy Resource Group (NARG) and Autism On the Go (AOG)

Exciting News: Autism On the Go’s New Community!


We’re thrilled to announce that the next phase in our nonprofit journey is the establishment of our organization's ability to collect funds and the upcoming release of our brand-new website, autismonthego.org! 🎉


Autism On the Go (AOG) is a group by and for Autistics, dedicated to building a supportive and inclusive community where we can connect, thrive, and enjoy. To make this dream a reality, we need your help.

We are currently seeking donations to cover essentials like:


  • A Zoom account for our virtual meetups


  • Snacks and drinks for in-person events



  • Resources to support our activities


We firmly believe that financial barriers should never stand in the way of accessing our services. It’s our pledge to ensure every member of our community feels welcome and supported, regardless of their financial situation.

AOG programming is brought to you by our nonprofit and parent company, Neurodivergent Advocacy and Resource Group (NARG). We plan to expand our services to include policy meet ups, workshops, trainings, and other services by and for the neurodivergent community.


Your generosity will go a long way in helping us foster a vibrant and accessible community. Every little bit makes a difference.


Wishing you a joyful holiday season,

Your Autism On the Go Team

That was until he discovered he was autistic at the age of 70.
