AUTISM SOCIETY ONTARIO

The vision of Autism Ontario is acceptance and opportunities for all individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Our mission is to ensure that each individual with ASD is provided the means to achieve quality of life as a respected member of society. Our 6 Key Areas of Focus include - advocacy and support; research; best practices; government relations; public awareness and governance. We are guided by a Board of Directors, composed primarily of parents of individuals with autism, plus a host of volunteers and respected professionals who provide expertise and guidance to the organization on a volunteer basis.

Autism Ontario is dedicated to increasing public awareness about autism and the day-to-day issues faced by individuals with autism, their families, and the professionals with whom they interact. The association and its chapters share common goals of providing information and education, supporting research, and advocating for programs and services for the autism community.
