Autism Society of America Foundation

The Autism Society of America foundation was founded by Dr. Bernard Rimland, the same doctor who founded the Autism Research Institute. The ASA was established in 1965 and was Dr. Rimland's first organization. The ASA foundation was originally comprised of parents but membership has spread to professionals and concerned citizens as well. The ASA foundation is dedicated to educating the public about autism and pervasive developmental disorders. It funds research projects and supports services for people in the community who are affected by autism. Each year, the Autism Society of America presents awards that recognize outstanding individuals within the autism community. The foundation also offers scholarships as well.

Autism Research Institute

The Autism Research Institute was established by Dr. Bernard Rimland in 1967. Dr. Rimland is the author of the groundbreaking book Infantile Autism: The Syndrome and its Implications for a Neural Theory of Behavior which dispelled the myth of the "refrigerator mother." Before researchers like Dr. Rimland, most believed that autism was an emotional disorder caused by a cold and distant relationship between mother and child. Now we know that autism is fundamentally a neurological brain disorder because of such pioneers as Dr. Rimland and through research developed on sites like the Autism Research Institute. The Autism Research Institute is dedicated to continuing its research into the field of autism with the conviction that autistic disorder is treatable with the appropriate interventions. The organization is responsible to gathering data about current autism research and extending it to professionals and families affected by autism spectrum disorders.
