Why Should I Become a Member?

The Autism Society of North Carolina advocates for legislative issues  important to the autism community, and provides resources, services, and educational workshops to help families navigate the world of autism.

Membership fees stay in North Carolina and directly impact individuals with ASD and their families, who face the challenges that autism can present throughout their lifespan.  With the rising number of newly diagnosed individuals, combined with ever-changing funding sources, our advocacy, educational and legislative efforts have never been more urgent.
