Autism Spectrum News (ASN), published by the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Mental Health News Education, began as a quarterly print publication in 2008. In response to readership feedback, ASN became an online-only publication in 2021. ASN was developed to provide the autism community with a trusted source of evidence-based information and education, the latest in scientific research, clinical treatment best practices, family issues, advocacy, and vital community resources.
