EnglishWhat Is Autism Society and What Can Visitors Find on autismsociety.org?
Updated
autismsociety.org is the website of the Autism Society, an organization whose stated mission is to "create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully." It is an informational and community-resource site rather than a clinical service: visitors can read about Autism and diagnosis, browse topic-based resources, find local affiliates, get involved with programs and public policy, and shop for branded merchandise. It is aimed at Autistic individuals, families, and anyone seeking general information and connection to the Autism community.
What the organization says it does
The site frames its purpose around connection and resources. Its central message is that "the experience of Autism is not one thing. It is many things" — dreams, talents, relationships, victories, hurdles, and everything in between — and that the connecting thread is the individual. The "Autism Is" campaign reinforces this by inviting people to share their own story, on the premise that no two Autistic individuals have the same lived experience.

Who it is for and how to use it
If you are looking for general information about Autism, diagnosis pathways, or topic-based support, the Screening and Diagnosis and Resources by Topic sections are the natural starting points. If you want local, in-person connection, use Find an Affiliate. If you want to contribute time, follow policy work, or access training, start with Get Involved. The store and the campaign pages (such as sharing your story) are optional extras rather than core information resources.
One practical note: the site presents itself as a connection and resource hub, not a provider of individual medical or diagnostic advice. For decisions about screening, diagnosis, or care, treat the site as a starting point and confirm specifics with qualified professionals.
