Empowering Autistic People To Make Positive Social Change.
LAST is a grassroots, peer-support, and self advocacy organization, entirely run by Autistic people. We are based in London, Ontario.
A shelf of books and stim toys. There are stickers on the books and stim toys, and on the cupboards below the shelves that have the LAST logo on them. 
Three glass vases are in the foreground. Two contain brushes and pallet knives, and one has paint water. A bottle of glaze is tucked behind them. A poster can be seen resting against the wall in the background. On it, partially visible is the Mother Jones quote: Mourn For The Dead, Fight Like Hell For The Living. 
A group of people are standing together and smiling at the camera. 
A woman stands on a low wall and is looking to the left. She is reading off a sheaf of paper and speaking into a microphone. A bearded man stands beside her holding up a megaphone that is connected to the microphone. Behind her to the right can be seen part of a LAST banner, and poster boards with photographs of people on them. Over her shoulder a wrought iron sign reads: Victoria Park. It is an overcast evening and the street lights are starting to come on around the park in the background. 
Two people are holding shovels and planting trees. The woman is pretending to take a swing at the man and laughing. She is wearing sunglasses and has a red sweater around her waist. The man has his back to the camera and is wearing a black tank top and black pants. 
A bookshelf with books on it. The Books cover topics ranging from Autism to Law to LGBTQ identity. 
Five abstract paintings are hanging on a wall above two arm chairs. A woman is relaxing in one of the chairs. The two paintings on the right and two paintings on the left are painted in darker colours, especially oranges and purples. The central image is composed of brisk red brush strokes on a white background. The brushstrokes are more concentrated in the centre giving the photograph a strong focal point. 
A photograph of a city scape. The foreground is a natural area with a creek running through it. The predominant colours of the plants are yellow and red. A reddish brown, conical building is central in the image. White apartment buildings rise behind it. One of the apartment buildings is reflected in the creek. 
A vehicle decorated with flags and banners reads London Autistics Stanting Together OutLAST. A woman is visible from behind. She is wearing a rainbow tutu and fairy wings.
We formed in 2016 in response to a lack of support for adults on the Autism spectrum, as well as a lack of intersectionality in mainstream Autism organizations. We currently run a peer support group for Autistic adults, and we are looking to expand what we do to include more advocacy for disability rights, as well as education for the broader community about Autism, and Autistic rights, and to provide social opportunities for people on the autism spectrum.
