🧭This list is evolving.
We know there are gaps—particularly in Asia, across the African continent, and in other underrepresented regions.
If you know of neurodivergent-led, affirming nonprofit organisations advocating for Autistic and trans communities in your country, we’d love to hear from you.
Please email us at hello@thrivingautistic.org so we can continue building a truly global and inclusive resource together.
