Mission / Objective

Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) provides information, services, education and research through partnerships with people with autism spectrum disorders, their families and communities. Aspect's vision is 'overcoming the isolation of autism'.

Beneficiary Group

So many people are affected by autism. It is not just the estimated 130 000 Australians on the spectrum.  It is also their families, other carers, friends and colleagues.  Aspect is a dynamic organisation committed to building confidence and capacity in all of these people.

Projects in Progress

Autism spectrum disorders are lifelong developmental disabilities that affect around 1 in 110 Australians. They impact a person's ability to communicate and relate to others, in different ways and to varying degrees.  

Aspect operates a variety of services in NSW, ACT and Victoria including:

  • diagnostic assessments
  • early intervention programs
  • a network of autism specific schools and satellite classes
  • behavioural intervention
  • educational outreach
  • community participation
  • a parent support network
  • family and information services
  • parent education and professional development workshops
