Autism Canada is the only Canadian organization with a national perspective on the issues currently facing those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, their families and caretakers. Autism Canada has been generating public awareness about ASD in Canada since 1976. The strategic objectives of Autism Canada focus on the changing the future for those on the spectrum through the delivery of the highest quality programs and advocacy work. Our staff and Board of Directors have a personal connection to ASD and Neurodiversity or are on the Autism Spectrum themselves. In addition to encouraging best practices, Autism Canada actively promotes national dialogue on the most effective strategies for building equitable access to funding and services.
