AASCEND

AUTISM CREATIVES COLLECTIVE SURVEY

The Autism Creatives Collective (ACC) is a community of talented creative writers, artists and musicians on the spectrum who support each other in their creative endeavors. The idea for ACC was born in February of 2016 at a meeting of AASCEND (the Autism Aspergers Spectrum Coalition for Education, Networking and Development). The meeting focused on celebrating and supporting the unique contributions of autistic creatives.

The purpose of the Autism Creatives Collective Survey is to hear directly from interested creatives about their talents and passions, and what they need to nurture and help their creative talents flourish – whether your goal is to work in a creative field, make some additional money from your creative work, or to enrich your life by nurturing your creative side. By responding to the survey, you will help create the vision for building the Autism Creatives Collective. Please respond by April 18.
