The Aspergers Society was founded in 2000 by parents of children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and concerned professionals. The Aspergers Society of Ontario is the only agency in Ontario that is solely devoted to serving the AS population.

We have the expertise and resources to help in many ways. As request for information (email or phone) are received by the Society, they are prioritized and directed to the appropriate staff member for resolution. Together we will determine how the Aspergers Society can be of assistance.

The material provided or published by the Aspergers Society of Ontario is designed for informational purposes only, and is not a comprehensive statement of available options, information, resources, or alternatives related to Asperger Syndrome. We are continually updating our list of resources as they become available or known to the Society. Please do not hesitate to let us know of any supports/services in your area, so that we may share them with our community.
