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 specturm. We also host monthly support group meetings for the whole family, and organize group outings. 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.
