Autistic and LGBTQIA2S+ Resources in Washington State
Community, Care, and Connection for Intersectional Identities
At the Autism Society of Washington, we honor the full diversity within the Autistic community—including those who are LGBTQIA2S+. Many people live at the intersection of neurodivergence and gender or sexual diversity and deserve support that embraces every part of their identity.
We are committed to creating safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces for Autistic and LGBTQIA2S+ individuals across Washington State. Whether you're looking for community, resources, advocacy, or simply a place to feel seen—you are not alone.
