Autism is a neurological development disorder that affects one out of every 150 children born in the United States. It has been labeled as a Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The characteristics range from abnormal social interactions, limited communication skills to repetitive and obsessive behaviors. Severity of these characteristics range from mild to severe, as each child suffers from their own distinctive limitations in social development.

Autism in Georgia (AIG) was founded on August 7, 2008 and believes that each person with autism is a unique individual and deserves the right to learn about alternative options tailored to their specific needs. To the maximum extent possible, AIG agrees that decsions should be made by parents first and then the affected individual with autism. Services should enhance and strengthen the relationship between various communities and all those associated by autism.

It is important to us that we connect families to a support system so they can have someone guide them through the maze on how to obtain services, locate providers, apply for respite care and serve as a mentor while they navigate this new and unfamiliar territory.
