Mission
Independence Through Interdependence formerly known as Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network or ASR provides education assistance community building research and advocacy for autistic people and their loved ones. 2024 initiatives included launching a partially-owned for-profit social enterprise completing Phase 1 of the Mobility Autonomy Program suicide prevention activities through the Positive Outcomes Project and an ongoing advocacy campaign to flip the power dynamic in autism research and funding to prioritize autistic perspectives.

Programs
Established ITI Assistive Technologies Inc. subsequently renamed ITI Lab in 2025 a partially-owned for-profit social enterprise developing assistive technology for neurodivergent adults. This initiative supports ASR ITIs mission to provide free direct services to autistic adults. During this tax year ASR ITI received $7,500 from GiveBackHack Columbus to support this venture. Through a resource sharing agreement with ITI Assistive Technologies Inc ASR created 3 neuroinclusive full-time positions with health insurance benefits. These positions were leased to ITI Assistive Technologies Inc for $237746.36 during its tax exempt purpose-aligned research grant from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities to develop AI-powered supports for autistic and ADHD adults. This strategic partnership advances ASR ITIs sustainable service model while directly creating employment opportunities for the population we serve and allowing us to advance nonprofit activities at an accelerated rate.
$243,675 spent$245,756 earned by the program88% of program spendingCompleted Phase 1 of the Mobility Autonomy Program MAP which addresses transportation access and communication challenges for autistic adults. During this tax year we conducted 20 expert interviews and collected 100 survey responses from autistic adults regarding their mobility and communication support needs. This research established the foundation for future phases and helped identify critical barriers to independence. The program was supported by grants from the Holy Trinity Endowment Committee $1,500 Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council $5,000 and The Columbus Foundation $15,000. Findings from Phase 1 will inform the development of practical solutions in Phases 2-4 with a comprehensive implementation plan now established to improve transportation access and autonomy for our community.
$27,067 spent$21,500 earned by the program10% of program spendingLaunched the Positive Outcomes Project POP focused on increasing evidence-based measures of positive wellbeing for autistic adults. During this tax year we established a formal relationship with the Autism and Suicide Prevention Working Group to address critical mental health concerns in the autistic community. We developed and submitted grant proposals to fund a national meeting dedicated to autism and suicide prevention strategies. Additionally we received a $2,500 grant from Insperity to sponsor a sensory-supportive event in Washington D.C. providing autistic adults with accommodations and resources to promote wellbeing in public settings. These foundational efforts will advance our mission to improve quality of life metrics and create measurable positive outcomes for autistic adults.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
