Autism Society of North Central Indiana - South Bend Chapter

About Me

WHO ARE WE?
The South Bend Chapter of the Autism Society of North Central Indiana (ASNCI)
was formed by a group of families with young children on the autism spectrum.
Our main objectives are:
    Increasing autism awareness, and the importance of
    early intervention for treatment of autism, in the community
    Helping other families in the community by providing support
    and information about available resources in the community
    Working to increase the availability of early intervention services
    to all families in the community, regardless of income,
    through fundraising efforts and community involvement.

PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the commitment of my home duties right now, I am unable to give this page the attention required at this point in time. I will leave the page up as is, and will certainly welcome current friends to leave comments; however, if you need to contact us, you will get a more prompt response by contacting us through our main website ASNCI South Bend . We will also be unable to accept new friends for awhile, until we have time to sort through the existing ones and make sure they are all "real". We have approved many requests that have given us nothing but spam comments and make it difficult to interact with those who have a true interest in our cause. We do thank you all for your continued support, and hope you will understand as we take our hiatus to sort this mess out!
