Our mission is to be a lifeline and hub for families and adults, providing support, information, and advocacy. Founded by parents in 1996, Autism Connection of PA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, serving thousands of people seeking help for autism concerns. Professional staff provide email, text, social media and phone support, weekly autism news, autism-friendly activities, and coordinate various types of support groups across the Commonwealth. We serve people of all ages and all stages of autism, and are governed by a board of directors including several autistic adults who guide our work.
