ASA Rule 8-1B says clearly that the batter becomes a batter-runner if the catcher fails to catch the third strike and there are 2 outs.

There is an exception for 10U, but otherwise, the batter may attempt to reach 1st base on a dropped 3rd strike with 2 outs.

With fewer than 2 outs, 1st base must be unoccupied.

But with 2 outs, the batter is not out and may attempt to advance.
