Autism Empowerment is a small nonprofit organization based in Vancouver, Washington, focused on enriching and empowering the lives of children, teens, adults, and families within autistic, autism, and neurodivergent communities. Founded in June 2011 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, its programs aim to cultivate a culture of acceptance for all abilities and are piloted locally with the intention of expanding regionally, nationally, and globally. A distinctive aspect of the group is that its founders and every member of its board are either on the autism spectrum themselves or have autistic family members.

The organization seeks culture change to create a society that authentically accepts, includes, and empowers autistic individuals to pursue meaningful goals in their lives. It publishes Spectrum Life Magazine, reportedly the only autistic-led publication of its kind in the Northwest, with back issues freely available online at SpectrumLife.org. In March 2018 (March 14, 2018), SpectrumLife.org was launched, replacing the former Spectrums Magazine and continuing the publication's online presence.
