Help Carlos raise money

Did you know that ASO is the only non-profit charity organization in Ontario dedicated solely to ASD1 (formerly known as Asperger's)? We are a crucial support system within the ASD community, providing vital resources, services, and support to thousands of individuals and families.

Help us keep making a difference! With over 2,000 calls for help received each year, we need your support to continue offering FREE assistance and essential services throughout Ontario.

By donating to ASO, you directly contribute to answering those calls and providing valuable support to individuals on the autism spectrum. From our helpline that offers guidance and reassurance to a wide range of support programs and resources, your contribution has a significant impact on the lives of those we serve.

Who are you helping when you support us? 

•  Reya, a single mother, reached out to ASO when her son was diagnosed with ASD1. We provided guidance, resources, and connections to local services. Sarah and her son are now getting the help they need to navigate this new journey.

•  Marc, a high school teacher, turned to ASO for tools and strategies to support his student with ASD1. We equipped him with training materials and practical advice, enabling him to create an inclusive environment for all his students.

•  Evie, an autistic adult, faced barriers in finding employment. ASO provided resources and connections to inclusive workplaces, helping her secure a job that celebrates her unique strengths.

•  Nathan, a young adult with autism, struggled with feelings of isolation, severe anxiety, and depression. We connected him with our Peer Connections program, where he found a support network of peers who understand her experiences. Nathan has gained the strength to manage his challenges and found new friendships.

Your help to the ASO team directly supports individuals like Reya, Marc, Evie and Nathan, ensuring they receive the services, resources, and compassionate support they deserve.
