AUTISM SOCIETY OF AMERICA YORK, PA CHAPTER The mission of Autism York is to provide support to parents, family and friends of individuals on the Autism Spectrum. Our group exists for the sole purpose of providing support in a safe and friendly environment for those lives affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder. 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 to learn, grow, and develop relationships that help guide one another through the journey of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Our group has meetings each month at the York Learning Center (Old Central York High School). See details below for this month's topic and times. To stay connected throughout the month, we host 2 message boards on Google Groups. The first is located at http://groups.google.com/group/AutismYork, and is for the purpose of receiving announcements regarding upcoming events only. The second is located at http://groups.google.com/group/AutismYorkChat. This board is used by families to ask questions, provide support, share knowledge, voice frustrations and to keep everyone updated on future events.
