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 catalog, request materials, look through our digital library, do research, and check on events happening in Nova Scotia and around the world.

It was a yabba dabba doozie of a party! A great big Thank You to all the people in our neighbourhood for your attendance, bids, sponsorship, time, help and enthusiasm! This year’s Autism Golf Ball raised over $90,000 to support Autism Nova Scotia.
We hope that while you were golfing, enjoying your TV dinners and networking with your colleagues you learned a bit more about Autism. The money you helped us raise will go directly to programs like Autism Works and Autism Nova Scotia's unique summer camp, and to further support essential resources and programs for people with autism and their families across the province.
Thanks again for your role in our “really big show”. It’s not too early to circle next year’s date in your calendar: October 20, 2012.
Live long and prosper.
