Our Mission
To ensure that each individual with ASD is provided the means to achieve quality of life as a respected member of society

Our Chapter
We are parents of children, youth and adults living with Autism Spectrum Disorders, our extended family members and the professionals who support us. We are a grass-roots organization, directed and managed by a dedicated core of parent volunteers.

Our Visual Identity

In our logo
• Our graphic elements are “seeds of potential”
• Red is for the initial feeling of helplessness, frustration, and anger when autism is determined
• Blue denotes hope, change, and support
• Green is for growth, vibrancy, living a full life, and the potential of the individual
