Who are we? Families with Autism Spectrum Disorders Inc. is a
501(c)(3), non-profit organization that fully funds
the Families with ASD Autism support group and the Families with ASD Autism Expo.
Why did we form this group? If you have
a child, or loved one with ASD, you have special challenges. Things as simple as going to the grocery may seem impossible. Our group gives us an opportunity to be with others that share in our experiences and understand these challenges. We love our
children and want to share ideas and ways to help them. Hopefully, our group will give us all some added strength and
resources to help our children.
What is our Goal? One of our goals is to spread awareness and connect families.
Each September we host the Families with ASD Autism Expo. This is a free event which helps families connect with local service providers
that work with children and adults on the spectrum. We also host free monthly support group meetings for the whole family, and organize
group outings and free holiday parties. It is much easier to attend a public event when you have those around you that understand.
When? Families with ASD meets monthly for casual family centered meetings. All meetings are for the entire family. Please click on the meeting icon to get the latest information on upcoming meetings, times and locations.

Future Plans? Families with ASD has been working on putting together a Family Autism
Resource Center. The Resource Center will be like a mini Autism Expo and a place where the whole family can go to get in touch with
the many resources available in our area.
