Regarded as the nation’s leading grassroots autism organization, the Autism Society of America spearheads multifaceted efforts to improve the lives of those with autism. It advocates for appropriate services for individuals across their entire lifespan. In 2018, the society helped around 600,000 individuals on the spectrum and their families with its services. Providing reliable information on autism, guidance for parents, and organizing community-based activities, their mission extends beyond research to tuition reimbursement for professionals in the field, thereby strengthening autism care and support.
