Our Mission

We create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully.

Our Vision

Creating a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it.

ASO will be Oregon’s leading organization providing resources, education, advocacy and support for Autistic individuals and their families, friends, and supporters.

Our Values

Dignity: where the value of self-determination of every individual is upheld.

Equity: where every Autistic person achieves the highest possible quality of life.

Inclusion: where every person is integrated into society without barriers or exceptions in a collaborative environment.

Diversity: where everyone is respected for their unique and individuals differences.

Integrity: where we conduct ourselves with honor, truth, and respect in our thoughts, words, and actions.

At all times ASO builds community in a way that is ethical, respectful, safe, inclusive and welcomes all perspectives.

Our Governance

ASO is the Oregon Affiliate of the Autism Society of America. We are governed independently by our own Board of Directors.

All of the funds that ASO raises remain in Oregon to help individuals and families on the autism spectrum in Oregon.
