About Us Our Vision: Autism Support Community believes in a world where all individuals and their families are included, supported, and embraced by their community. ASC views these as civil rights that include the ability to live, work, and play in their neighborhood in a meaningful and self-determined way. Our Mission: Autism Support Community (ASC) is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is promoting increased circle of support for Autistic people and their families by connecting people, ideas, services, and resources. We will do this through virtual support groups, clubs, website/social media information, resource list, Person Centered Planning, and Self-Determination Program Independent Facilitation Services. Our History: Autism Support Community was founded in 2009 by a group of parents and professionals who felt strongly about the civil rights of people with developmental disabilities. We saw a need as we witnessed disparity in services, isolation from peers, and performative inclusion with no real intent. As parents, we experienced the challenges of losing our circle of support when friends and family did not always understand. The definition of community is “a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals”. The founders of ASC believe that we could create and share a genuine community environment.

Intellectual and Developmental Disability Acronym Lookup Have you been in a meeting that seems like they are speaking another language? Sometimes presenters, professionals, and school personnel forget that not everyone speaks the same jargon. The most common use is Acronyms (an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of a longer name or phrase). The Developmental Disability community is filled with them. They often forget that not everyone knows the shorthand. This can create barriers for families who are trying to learn the system. It gets even more confusing when translated into other languages and the first letters no longer match! This is an evolving list to look up the meanings. Our list is currently under construction. Please be patient as we try to add as many acronyms as we can find as soon as possible.
