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.

True to its wide-ranging corporate social responsibility initiatives, SM Supermalls, headed by Ms. Annie Garcia and SM Disability Affairs Committee, headed by Eng. Bien Mateo, extend its arms to Autism Society Philippines by imparting greater service, promoting the welfare of persons with autism (PWA) through education, advocacy and support.
