OUR STORY:

The Autism Society of the RMWB is a grassroots organization created by parents, that grew into a society creating a network of supports for families in our community. Today, the organization offers programming for children and adults of all differing abilities and has the capacity to assist families and individuals to navigate additional services, as well as support them through their journey.
