The Autism Society of Greater Cincinnati (ASGC) was founded in 1970, at a time when autism was rare and misunderstood. Local parents and professionals joined together to support and advocate for families. In the ensuing forty four years the prevalence of autism has escalated dramatically. ASGC has grown as well to continue to provide a variety of services and community outreach opportunities for these local families. A gift from the Pfau Foundation will support the The Cincinnati Autism Connection program.
