York Region Chapter is one of 30 chapters of Autism Ontario

Our Vision: Acceptance and opportunities for all individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Our Mission: To ensure that each individual with ASD is provided the means to achieve quality of life as a respected member of society

Our Chapter: We are parents of children, youth and adults living with Autism Spectrum Disorders, our extended family members and the professionals who support us. Serving York Region since 1987, we are a grass-roots organization, directed and managed by a dedicated core of parent volunteers. The YRC office receives no government funding. All chapter administrative functions are supported by volunteers, donations from our community and fundraising initiatives.
