An organization with little structure run by creating a series of temporary cross-functional teams to do specific tasks. Depending upon execution, the result is either efficient problem-solving or utter chaos.

Autistic Self Advocacy Network

An autism organization that promotes respect and acceptance toward autistic individuals. In contrast to many other autism organizations, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) motivates autistic people to freely express themselves in their own unique ways instead of forcing them to conform with the rest of society. This is the website to go to if you want to support the autistic community in ways that are actually meaningful.

I go to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) to help out the autistic community. They actually care about autistic people and view autism as a unique condition instead of a disease.

Autocracy

A political theory favoring unlimited authority by a single individual.

Going against wise intelligence, the president has himself led the country into war, placing our country into a TEMPORARY state of autocracy, him being the autocrat. This decision will cost American tax payers hundreds of billions of dollars.

Drunk indie dude: Would you mind if I play some of this? You have to hear this b-side. It's a totally rare euro import from some guys grandparent's attic. Apparently they only released ten copies on yoyo records before getting signed to dodo.

Audiocrat: Yeah, I'm not really to into them. Have you ever heard of these guys? Dude, just listen... Just give it a chance and you'll never be the same. Who wants a beer?

Drunk indie dude: Damn, what's up with the audiocracy?
