OUR STORY:

The Autism Society of the RMWB originated from a group of parents and professionals looking to create a support network for families in our community. Today, the organization offers programming for children and adults of all differing abilities. We have the capacity to assist families and individuals in navigating additional services and support them through their journey. By providing a variety of educational presentations and engaging in community events, we continue to strive to create an inclusive community.

OUR MISSION

We are committed to creating an inclusive community through programming, support, and understanding of autistic and neurodiverse individuals and all those living with a disability and their families across their lifespan.

OUR VISION
