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.

Autism Inclusive Philippines: Aim High! Fly High!

Presidential Proclamation No. 711 dated 04 January 1996 declared the annual commemoration of the “Autism Consciousness Week”. The 19th National Autism Consciousness Week will be observed on 25-31 January 2015, and will carry the theme “Autism Inclusive Philippines: Aim High! Fly High!”

The week-long celebration aims to inspire awareness, acceptance and inclusion of persons with autism (PWAs) in society and to promote action by the public and private sectors towards enabling PWAs to live with dignity, enjoy equal rights and access, function independently and contribute productively.

Public and private institutions are encouraged to spearhead creative activities, events and programs around autism awareness, acceptance and inclusion.
