The Autism Science Foundation (ASF) is an American non-profit organization whose stated goals are to fund evidence-based autism research and support families with autistic members. The organization was founded in March 2009 by Alison Singer, a former senior executive of Autism Speaks and then a member of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), and Karen Margulis London, a co-founder of the National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR). Both Singer and London are parents of autistic individuals. Singer also has an autistic sibling.
