The mission of the National Autism Association is to educate and empower families affected by autism and other neurological disorders, while advocating on behalf of those who cannot fight for their own rights.

We will raise public and professional awareness of environmental toxins as causative factors in neurological damage that often results in an autism or related diagnosis.
