If you’re seeking connection with others on a similar journey, hoping to make a difference by sharing your time and skills, or simply want to learn more about autism, you’ve come to the right place! Think of this website as your personal gateway to understanding the complex yet rewarding world of autism. We invite you to subscribe to our e-newsletter, volunteer with us, participate in our fundraising events, and follow us on Facebook.

Autism Society-The Heartland (ASH) serves as the official Kansas and Missouri affiliate of the Autism Society of America. At ASH, our focus is on supporting both individuals and their families. We offer opportunities for education, self-advocacy, and community support. Our programs include A.W.A.R.E. activities, the promotion of the film "Just Like You – Autism," support groups, and ongoing collaboration with local service providers to meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities.

Autism Society-The Heartland is a professional organization that consistently uses person-first language across this website, in professional communication, and advertising. However, we recognize that many individuals prefer identity-first language and will always honor personal preferences in one-on-one correspondence.
