Welcome to ASCEND Group

ASCEND is a community of people in the Greater Philadelphia area who are concerned about the many ways that Asperger Syndrome (AS) and other autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) affect children and adults and their families in the home, at school and in every area of their lives.

By working together, we raise public awareness about AS and related disorders, advocate for improved education and services, and provide support and information to the Asperger and autism community.


Resources that Help You
An important part of the ASCEND mission is identifying and sharing resources with families, professionals, educators, students and decision-makers. Members have easy one-stop access to Aspergers and Autism Sites/Listservs, PA and Regional Resources, Educational Institutions and Schools, Advocacy and Legal Resources, research, and current media citations to articles, journal entries, blogs, op-ed pieces and websites of interest to families and professionals.

Bringing People Together
