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.

The Autism Society Philippines Self-Advocates Circle (SACi) was formed in 2018 to bring the voices of persons on the spectrum together, as a positive force of change in Philippine society. To continue the group’s advocacy, ASP is looking for the next leaders who are interested to serve the ASP Self Advocates Circle and continue the program and activities.
