There are many ways to get involved in the autism community. ECI-ASA encourages its members and supporters to keep current on and active in ongoing advocacy issues regarding autism. Make an effort to attend autism events and conferences in the area. The benefits of being involved in the autism community are many—not the least of which is educating yourself about the most appropriate treatments and resources available to help your loved one on the spectrum.
