The Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC) is the leading statewide resource organization serving people across the autism spectrum throughout their lifespans. We understand the challenges of the autism community because we work with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families every day. We offer advocacy, training and education, and direct care. We have a statewide network of resources, connecting individuals with autism and their families to life-changing programs and supports unavailable anywhere else.
