Welcome to the Autism Society of Greater Phoenix
The Autism Society of Greater Phoenix
is a group of people (mostly parents) who are dedicated to improving the quality of life of children and adults affected by autism by providing information, resources and support to the community, and especially to families affected by autism. Membership is open to parents, professionals, people on the spectrum, and their friends and supporters. It is a democratically-elected, grass-roots non-profit.
