Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) would like to welcome you to its new website. We hope you will find the information useful in learning more about autism spectrum disorders and that you will be able to participate and share this online community.
We have just launched a new national awareness campaign with our partners in the other states and territories.
The awareness campaign is also about asking for help in raising money to provide services.

Introduction to Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect)
We are the country's largest not-for-profit autism specific service provider. Aspect builds confidence and capacity in people with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), their families and communities by providing information, education and other services.
Established in 1966, Aspects's specialised evidence-based autism educational program is amongst the largest in the world and incorporates:
- Direct services for children in the form of early intervention and schooling, incorporating six specialty schools, over 60 satellite classes, education and family support, assessment and transition and itinerant education support;
- Direct services for adults in the form of employment, training and accommodation;
- Advice and assistance for many families who are either receiving inadequate or inappropriate services, or for whom there are no services at all;
- A central resource for families and services seeking information and advice about autism spectrum disorders, including Asperger's disorder in NSW.
Aspect employs highly skilled professionals who are experts in the field of autism and who provide programs which emphasise the development of communication skills, social skills and independent living skills. The overall objective is integration into mainstream education, which in turn overcomes a major barrier to community living for people with autism.
