Since 1993, HCAS has served individuals on the autism spectrum, their families, and community by providing information, support, and advocacy; promoting awareness of autism that values the dignity and uniqueness of each individual; and working to improve the quality of and access to services and educational opportunities. We work to raise awareness and educate the general public about the complexities of autism, believing that people who understand autism are better equipped to welcome and support individuals living with autism into the community.
