Did you know? About 1 in 50 Canadian children and youth have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Yet, autism is still widely misunderstood.

October is Autism Awareness Month in Canada. It's an opportunity to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and build more inclusive communities.

At , we believe that true inclusion means more than just awareness. It also means belonging and challenging outdated beliefs about autism while recognizing and celebrating each person's unique experiences, strengths, and contributions.

Everyone deserves:
✔️ The right to choose how they live
✔️ Support that meets their unique needs
✔️ A sense of belonging in their community

DSO is committed to helping people connect with the services they need to live life independently, confidently, and on their own terms.

To autistic people and their families: we see you, we hear you, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Let’s continue building communities where inclusion isn't just a value but a practice.
