| The Autism Society of America proudly celebrates Founder’s Day on November 14th. We would like to take a moment to reflect on the Autism Society’s rich history and honor the legacy that Ruth C. Sullivan, Bernard Rimland, and Ole Ivar Lovass created when forming this organization in 1965.
“This Founder’s Day, the Autism Society reflects our long history and honors the collective role we all play in ensuring that Autistic individuals and their loved ones can connect with each other, with resources, and with supports and services so that they may live full, vibrant, self-actualized lives.” - Christopher Banks, President and CEO of the Autism Society of America
The Autism Society strives to learn and evolve by expanding services, opportunities, programs, and support to better serve the Autism community. We’ve seen significant impact including the growth of our National Helpline and Vaccine Education Initiative. Our National Programs team also recently expanded as we introduced our Employment Initiative, “Safety on Spectrum” First Responders Training and Water and Wandering Programs.
Throughout the organization’s evolution, our mission is to create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community to live fully. |
