Autism Nova Scotia was founded as The Provincial Autism Centre in 2002 with one primary goal: to help parents, professionals, those on the spectrum, and others to find the information and services they need to support persons living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We are a registered charitable organization dependent on donations.
This website is an extension of Autism Nova Scotia's mission to facilitate an exchange of ideas and information about autism through our programs and resources. Members and visitors may browse our catalogue, request materials, look through our digital library, do research, and check on events happening in Nova Scotia and around the world.
Upcoming Events Thursday, April 26th, 2012, stop by the Autism Nova Scotia centre from 1pm - 4pm to celebrate Autism Awareness Month. Visit, chat with our staff and enjoy light refreshments as we celebrate autism awareness together. It's that time of year again! Please join us again on Saturday, June 16, 2012 to walk the walk raising autism awareness across Nova Scotia. Online registration will open soon at www.walkthewalkforautism.ca. Don’t believe us?
