For 57 years and counting, the organization known as Autism Society of America, and its nationwide network of affiliates, has been connecting people in the Autism & Disability communities to the resources they need. With such a rich tradition across the country, Autism Society of Greater Detroit, is thrilled to be the connection as the state affiliate in Michigan.

Our goal is to provide support to the Autism community in any way we are able; we do this through education, advocacy, information and referrals, and community programs. We currently serve the Greater Detroit area but with the backing of our National Organization the 5-year plan is to provide services and support throughout all of Michigan. Support from organizations and individuals across the state through donations and volunteering are what help make this goal a reality.

Help support the beginning of several local initiatives the community has identified as strongly needed:

Playgroup Meet ups: Parents/Guardians help others by sharing their own knowledge and experience, while their child(ren) play in a safe environment.
· Virtual Peer Support Groups: A safe space where individuals share experiences, get information & advice, and make community connections. Specific groups include Siblings, Adults with ASD, Parents/Caregivers
“Navigating Autism” Information & Referrals: The 24/7 messaging service is always ready for families to ask questions and obtain a quick response of advice from parents with experience raising special needs family members: 517-220-0306
Community Learning: We educate people about special needs and various interventions. In addition to families, we also work to educate members of the community, such as first responders, on how they can serve individuals on the autism spectrum.
