Autism Society of Illinois | 2012 Autism Awareness Month


YouTube Uploaded by AutismIllinoisorg on Mar 30, 2012

The Autism Society of Illinois(ASI) was founded more than 30 years ago for indivuals with autism, parents, families, professional, corporate partners and friends. Our objective is to provide education, training, individual assistance and practical support for parents; increase public awareness of autism; offer a referral network of professionals.

Our Mission

To improve the lifes of individuals and families in Illinois affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders.

To us, “people affected” means: individuals with autism, their families, teachers, physicians, therapists, bus drivers, restaurant owners…etc!

We do this by providing individualized information and support referrals to individuals who are affected by autism TODAY.

We understand that autism is a lifelong disability. ASI is here to provide support and advocacy, and to increase awareness and acceptance throughout our state.

We are the first point of contact for people around Indiana when they need support, input, or a shoulder to cry on. Our staff all have close family members who are on the autism spectrum, which gives us that real-life experience that you can’t learn from a book.
