Hi, my name is frederick, and I live in Portland, Oregon. I wanted to get more involved with the autism community (diagnosed aspergers, Anxiety disorder, ADHD, Impulse control disorder.) and thought it would be splendid to do just that while protesting against any social injustices pertaining to neurodiverse peoples :D. so does anyone know of any that will occur in or near portland in the coming months?

I'm not sure about protests but if you're in Portland, you may want to get in touch with Karla Fisher. She is trying to make Portland a Mecca of Autistic culture! I hope to help do the same things for Washington DC that she's doing for Portland someday!
Here is here website with her contact information :-)

Portland has a vibrant chapter of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network:

Join them and they will tell you all you need to know.
