WHO WE ARE
The Society of Autism Families is a charitable association founded by a group of parents of people with autism spectrum disorder in 1430 AH, and it is formed by all members of society, especially those who have children with autism. Since its establishment, the association has undertaken a clear vision of supporting families to ensure that receive high-quality services. The association has also worked to clearly convey its lofty message to comprehensively support autistic families through training, moral support, and conveying their voice to society.
CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful Charitable work is a great matter that has always been encouraged by our doctrines brought forth by our truthful faith and laws since it was advocated by our noble Prophet (PBUH), and before it was thought of by any other nation. With the grace and blessings of Allah SWT, we have been blessed with a noble tenure and wise leadership that supports great reach and community support, in addition to volunteer work. Since the Society’s founding, and through the guidance of Her Highness Princess Samirah Al Faisal, those noble creeds act as the torch that leads the way towards continuous humanitarian and charitable work. From these foundations, my colleagues at the Society and myself are keen on putting all our efforts and extend a helping and nurturing hand to Autistic individuals and their families, and my message to them is my welcoming of ideas or suggestions that may be crucial elements that help us and enrich our performance, and I pledge to spare no effort to be of service to them.
