 In August 2019, ASAN announced it had ended its partnership with Sesame Street because it produced materials that combine "incredibly harmful information with useful information with little to no distinction", including theories and narratives about autism that are not scientifically supported, and medical advice not backed by scientific research.ASAN opposed Kevin and Avonte's Law, which would have provided money to fight wandering behavior in autistic children.According to an editorial in Vox, ASAN was originally neutral, but after several modifications were made, including tracking people to prevent them from harming others, ASAN and several other disabilities rights groups opposed the proposed law over privacy concerns.
