We seek a movement away from the paradigms of disease and epidemic, neither of which are accurate or conducive towards autistic success and prosperity. We believe that autistic individuals hold the inalienable right to live as they are and that their neurological type should be respected and honored along with other forms of human diversity, such as race, religion, skin color or national origin. Our goals include providing a forum for autistic adults to interact with each other and promoting the growth of autistic culture and community. It is our belief that any effective and meaningful venture to provide services for autistic individuals requires the consideration by and the involvement of the autistic community. In addition, we seek to ensure the best possible educational environment for autistics of all ages, noting with concern the proliferation of segregated and inappropriate placements and the difficulties facing autistics of all types in higher education. Finally, we seek to change public perception of autistics by fighting against damaging stereotypes and promoting the success of autistic role models and community leaders, both for the purposes of inspiring the autistic community and educating the general public.

Quotes of: "Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations." "And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing � a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods." 1959. On social organizations: "One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters."
