Autism Society Philippines

About

The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of persons on the autism spectrum disorder. We envision a society where Filipinos on the spectrum become the best of their potentials -- self-reliant, independent, productive, socially-accepted citizens of an Autism-OK Philippines. ASP labors to establish institutional mechanisms to support persons on the autism spectrum and their families.  Established in 1989, the organization -- composed of 16,000 members spread over 106 chapters -- has been in the forefront of providing services to families and individuals affected with autism.  In 2013, ASP was a recipient of the coveted Gawad Apolinario Mabini -- an award conferred to institutions and individuals with noteworthy contributions to the disability community. ASP is proud to serve as the Chair of the ASEAN Autism Network from 2016-2017.
