RRVAN

Red River Valley Asperger-Autism Network (RRVAN) is a nonprofit organization based in Fargo, North Dakota, offering information and support to people and families affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Focused primarily on the Fargo-Moorhead area, it welcomes inquiries from throughout the Red River Valley. Its mission is to educate, empower, advocate for, and support individuals with ASD while promoting tolerance of neurodiversity and helping people on the spectrum succeed.

RRVAN provides programs and activities that encourage learning, advocacy, social interaction, and connection among individuals and families. Members can share experiences, build relationships, and find direction and resources. Through its Game On initiative, RRVAN welcomes people with ASD and others interested in connecting to enjoy video games in a community setting. The featured arcade, Replay Games, offers a kid-friendly environment with more than 6,000 games across generations of consoles. RRVAN also organizes inclusive gatherings, including Anything But Typical, which brings neurodivergent people together for creative activities, games, conversations, and access to resources.
