Alison Singer (née Tepper) is the president and founder of the Autism Science Foundation (ASF), a non-profit organization primarily focused on funding and advocating for medical research related to autism. She has also served on the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC). Singer was hired as vice president of programming for the cable division of NBC in 1993 and held multiple leadership roles at controversial non-profit organization Autism Speaks between 2005 and 2009.

Throughout her non-profit career, Singer has been generally supportive of the medical model of disability (particularly in the context of autism) and generally critical of the autistic rights and neurodiversity movements.
