Welcome...
Welcome to our website! We hope that it proves helpful as you acquaint yourself with Commonwealth Autism Service. Please visit often for updates on the many services that we offer to the autism community – individuals, families, professionals, and students. Please feel free to offer any suggestions for ways it may serve you better.
With a prevalence rate of 1 in 150, the potential exists for 50,000 of our fellow Virginians to have an ASD and many more to be impacted by autism as family and community members. Our work together is all the more critical in light of this epidemic. For our part we are committed to our mission to provide leadership in the implementation of a statewide system of services to maximize the potential and quality of life of each Virginian with autism across the lifespan.
We are grateful to our Board of Directors, constituent Advisory Council, staff, partners, and individual and corporate sponsors for their tremendous support of our efforts on behalf of all those impacted by autism.
Sincerely,
John
