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.

Photo Exhibit of Children with Autism

As part of the celebration of the 16th National Autism Consciousness Week, ASP Lagro Quezon City chapter showcased the artistic talents of children with autism thru a photo exhibit dubbed “Color of Autism Spectrum” from January 24 to 29, 2012 at the Atrium of SM City Fairview. The exhibit include photos taken by children with autism thru a point and shoot camera and also photos taken by volunteer photographers that captured the bonding moments of the child with autism with their father, mother or sibling.


The project was conceptualized by ace photographer and autism angel John Chua with the support of Canon Philippines and SM Programs on Disability Affairs headed by Engr. Bien Mateo.
