Who are we? Families with Autism Spectrum Disorders Inc. is a
501(c)(3), non-profit organization that fully funds the Families with ASD Autism support group, the founder of the annual Families with ASD Autism Expo, the author of the Autism Yellow Pages which is handed out free to families, and the founder of the first Autism Family Resource Center for the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky Area.
Why did we form this group? If you have a child, or loved one with ASD, you have special
challenges. Things as simple as going to the grocery may seem impossible. Our group gives us an opportunity to be with
others that share in our experiences and understand these challenges. We love our children and want to share ideas and ways
to help them. Hopefully, our group will give us all some added strength and resources to help our children.
What is our Goal? One of our goals is to spread awareness and connect families. Each September we host the Families with ASD Autism Expo. This is a free event which helps families connect with local service providers that work with children and adults on the spectrum. We also host free monthly support group meetings for the whole family, and organize group outings and free holiday parties. It is much easier to attend a public event when you have those around you that understand. New this year we are proud to open the Families with ASD Autism Family Resource Center. This will serve as a point of entry for families new and old to the diagnosis of autism.
