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.

Building Local Chapters

The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) has grown from the 11 mothers who bonded together for the causes of their children in 1989 to nearly 13,000 members, with 97 chapters all over the country.

Leading in Autism Advocacy

The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) increases public awareness about challenges faced by Filipinos on the spectrum, advocating for appropriate services, and providing the latest information regarding intervention, education, and advocacy. It is comprised of persons with autism, families, teachers, and educators whose lives have been touched by autism.

Speaking in Unison

The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) reaches out to the many communities across the islands to organize and help make available services and support to persons with autism and their families, in close coordination with government agencies, local government units, and community builders. Our chapters remain to be driving force behind the organization's meteoric growth.

The Autism Society Philippines joined the annual Kumustahan Seminar series of Archdiocese of Manila Ministry on Persons with Disabilities (AMMPD) this year. The seminar started on 13 July 2013 at St. Anthony de Padua Parish in Manila and was held in succeeding Saturdays of the month in different parishes in Metro Manila. The seminar intended to equip the churches’ volunteers and PWD ministries in proper dealing with persons with disabilities. It also talks about the world, plight and Christian intervention for PWD’s. The speakers from ASP included Ranil Sorongon, Jan Peña, Raphael Torralba, Tina Borneo, Jennette Rodriguez, and Nina Almeda.

AMMPD is the former Archdiocese of Manila Office for PWD Ministry and it is now under the umbrella of the Commission on Social Services and Development of the Archdiocese of Manila. For the benefit of PWDs, they provide religious, moral and values formation; offer skills training to prospective care-givers and catechists; provide assistance through referral to other agencies for rehabilitation, training and employment; offer counseling and human services and advocate awareness of PWDs’ presence, roles and rights in the Archdiocesan and in the parochial level.
