Our Mission
The mission of Autism York is to provide support to individuals on the autism spectrum, their parents, families and friends. Our group exists for the sole purpose of providing support in a safe and friendly environment. It is the intention of Autism York as a group to promote understanding and respect of all families and the choices they make regarding therapies and interventions. Through this group we will offer opportunities for families and individuals on the autism spectrum to learn, grow, and develop relationships that help guide one another through this journey.

Autism York is first and foremost a family support group. Nothing we do is intended to provide therapeutic benefit. Autism York strongly encourages families and individuals to utilize and rely on the advice of professional service providers as indicated by their individual situations. The information and resources we provide are not intended to be a substitute for professional advice.
