What We Do

We are there for families when they are given the devastating news that a loved one has been diagnosed with this lifetime disorder.

We are there for families when they need a shoulder on which to cry.  We are there for families when they need someone to simply listen.  We are there for families when they need advice – when they need to draw upon the experiences of other families who have gone through what they are presently experiencing – when they need the reassurance that yes, things will get better – that there is hope.

CAC meets on the third Saturday of each month from September through June with the exception of December.  At each meeting we provide one or more speakers on a topic of interest.

On the last Saturday of April, which is Autism Awareness Month, CAC presents our “Spring Fling for Autism Awareness” – a resource fair for parents and other caregivers, professionals who work with individuals with ASD, and anyone interested in learning more about this neurobiological disorder.

Throughout the year we sponsor recreational outings for our families, allowing them to enjoy activities such as bowling, horseback riding, and swimming without having to endure the disapproving stares and ugly comments of non-informed members of the public who think that the peculiar behavior they see is the result of “poor parenting” or a conscious decision on the part of the individual with ASD to “act up”,

Our calendar year culminates with our annual dinner dance.  You will definitely enjoy yourself as you observe the social interaction of our children and see that although their brains are wired differently than the typical person, in the final analysis, they are more like us than they are different.
