Founder bio

Cash is the founder of Autism Acceptance World (Autism Acceptance World), an autistic-led movement, daily-use tool library, and forthcoming Las Vegas brick-and-mortar destination for autistic children and families. Cash is autistic himself — late-diagnosed as an adult — and brings a first-person identity perspective absent from every comparable autism organization. Cash is also founder of The Voice of Cash (TVOC), a 20-year digital marketing operation in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sober since 2019. Father.

Ready-to-use quotes from Cash

"Las Vegas has world-class everything. Autistic kids get a Sunday morning time slot. We're fixing that."

"Autism Acceptance World isn't an awareness organization. Awareness has had 30 years. We're building infrastructure for autistic-led acceptance — tools, a place, a movement."

"The autistic community has been telling researchers what autism is for two decades. The science is now catching up. Autism Acceptance World exists to amplify the autistic-led voice while that catch-up happens."

Autism Acceptance World positions

  • On ABA: Autism Acceptance World does not promote ABA. The autistic-adult community's documented experience with masking-related PTSD outweighs the behavioral-outcomes literature. We support neurodiversity-affirming alternatives (DIR/Floortime, RDI, OT, SLP, positive behavior support).
  • On identity-first vs person-first language: Autism Acceptance World uses identity-first ("autistic person") per the consensus of autistic-adult advocates.
  • On cure narratives: Autism Acceptance World does not frame autism as something to cure. Autism is identity, not disease.
  • On the federal IACC turmoil: Autism Acceptance World supports the formation of the Independent Autism Coordinating Committee (I-ACC) as a science-based alternative voice.
  • On insurance coverage: State autism coverage mandates should be comprehensive (OT, SLP, sensory therapy, mental health) — not ABA-only.
