Local Chapters

Autism Society chapters are your best source of information and support. Most chapters are volunteer-led by parents, care providers and other professionals. The Autism Society has chapters in nearly every state reaching out to individuals with autism and their families with information, support, and encouragement.

Advocacy

Family TIES - Partners in Policymaking

The goal of Partners in Policymaking is to educate participants to be active partners with those who make policy. The idea is to develop partnerships that are based on positive relationships. In today's political climate of radical change, Partners graduates must work harder than ever to prevent the loss of basic rights for people with disabilities. Partners in Policymaking graduates can change the future by influencing public policy today.
