About Us
Mission: We create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully.
Vision: Creating a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it.
Autism Society Greater Philadelphia was established in 1977 by a dedicated group of parents who wished to spread awareness about Autism and advocate for their family members with a united voice. It has grown and expanded over the years and remains an excellent resource for self advocates, families, professionals and the general public throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. We serve Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties. Our Board of Directors are made up entirely of volunteers, including self advocates, family members and professionals.
