Our Mission Statement

The mission of AskAnAspie is to build a bridge between the Autism and Autistic communities, to provide a way for parents of children who may have trouble expressing themselves to talk to people who have gone through the same sort of experiences as their child and who see the world in the same way. While Odds & Friends, the organization behind AskAnAspie, is involved in advocacy work and many of its members hold strong views about issues such as ABA and the search for a 'cure', we try our best to keep advocacy separate from our role at AskAnAspie. In trying to explain how we think about ourselves, it may creep in from time to time, but our goal is to ensure that any parent, no matter where they come from in the autism community, feels comfortable bringing their questions to us.
