Author: LAST

LAST is a grassroots, peer-support, and self advocacy organization, entirely run by Autistic people. We are based in London, Ontario. 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 spectrum.
