The mission of Autism Support Network is conveyed in our tagline: connect, guide and unite.

Primary among our business thesis is that other customer-members can best provide support to each other as autism spectrum disorder is so broad in its possible manifestations.  With incidence of autism at a staggering ratio 1 out of 150 individuals today, our goal is to facilitate and short-cut the uphill battle individuals and families undertake when faced with autism – whether that means the initial diagnosis, the day-to-day living and coping needed, relationship and therapeutic strategies and the latest information.  

Autism Support Network integrates professional resources, research findings, multi-lingual resources wrapped around a highly robust peer-to-peer support network in which users create topical threads for support needs, blog and interact with one and other along with distributable applications for use within existing social network environments.  

Our support community, which is free for anyone to join, is intended to further reduce the need to “reinvent the wheel” and collectively pool global knowledge and support from all those touched by ASD wherever they might live.

The Autism Support Network is designed as a place by those living with ASD for those with ASD and those seeking social connection, peer guidance and a feeling of community with those that understand.     Over the short period of one year, the network as grown to thousands of registered members from 130 countries around the world as is one of the top-mentioned sites for peer-to-peer support for autism spectrum disorders.
