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. The mission of the Aspergers Society of Ontario is to provide education, resources and support to individuals with AS, their families, educators, medical and mental health professionals, employers, government and the community, to enable individuals with AS to realize their potential as fully contributing members of their community.
