About Us
We are fueled by passion and the desire to empower every person with autism and their families.
People with autism have unique gifts and can contribute to their communities in many ways. We're fortunate to have them in our lives.
The best advocacy occurs with education, respect and the presumption of competence for all. ASF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and an affiliate of Autism Society of America.
Our Mission
We create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully. We support people with Autism through advocacy, education, information and referrals, support, and community building. Autistic individuals participate in every level of our governance to ensure we represent a diverse and inclusive group across many intersectionalities.
Our Vision
Creating a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it.
Our Values
Dignity, where the value and self-determination of every individual is upheld
Equity, where everyone with Autism achieves the highest possible quality of life
Inclusion, where every person is integrated into society without barriers or exceptions
in a collaborative environment
Diversity, where everyone is respected for their unique and individual differences
Integrity, where we conduct ourselves with honor, truth, and respect in our thoughts,
words, and actions
