Announcing Autism Society's Fiscal Year 2017 Annual Report

It's been a record-breaking year for the Autism Society. Our network of over 80 affiliates in 37 states, served over 650,000 people, and launched new partnerships and programs, and helped to ensure all those on the spectrum are equipped with the tools and resources they need to succeed and improve their quality of life.

I am proud to present our Fiscal Year 2017 Annual Report.

None of this would have been possible without the support of our friends and supporters over the past year. As the holidays are approaching and you have the choice to support many organizations. We hope we can continue to count on your support and that you will work with us, care with us, and change lives with us. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift to support our mission of empowering individuals and families living with autism maximize their quality of life and live in a society in which their talents and skills are appreciated and valued.
