ASF is one of the premier organizations in the world dedicated to expanding our knowledge of autism and related developmental disorders. Their organization, in collaboration with their internationally renown scientific advisory board, continues to provide vital support to the autism research community.
Wonderful Science coming from a small team. They are a great alternative Autism NPO. Communication is excellent, they even do a weekly podcast related to the latest Autism research. I've volunteered for them the past two years at the scoring goals for Autism' fundraiser near Philly,
ASF is an amazing organization that is active in all aspects of improving the lives of those affected by Autism Spectrums Disorders. The ASF organizational activities encourage and promote quality research and collaborations that are truly changing the landscape of what is known about Autism and driving change in the science and care of those with ASDs.
The funding provided by the Autism Science Foundation affords scientists and organizations the means to conduct and disseminate peer reviewed, science-based autism research. Its efforts to increase societal awareness of autism spectrum disorders and to serve the needs of families raising children with autism is unmatched in its thorough, objectively based approach, carried out by its knowledgeable, passionate team of highly educated experts in the field.
The Autism Science Foundation has funded novel and critical science as well as supporting the needs of the autism community, including but not limited to the genetic cause of ASD.
They provide much needed support for early career investigators at a critical time and communicate new science to the public in an easy to understand, friendly way. ASF is also very collaborative and encourages cross-condition research.
The Autism Science Foundation works diligently to not only provide support and funding for autism research but also to conduct scientific based, peer reviewed research studies to identify and determine forward thinking approaches to further discoveries. Its team is comprised of highly educated, devoted members who are passionate about establishing and disseminating scientific approaches and truths.
The Autism Science Foundation is dedicated to funding researchers who will advance the field of autism science. We have known for many years how complex the spectrum is, and too often there is limited funding opportunities for emerging researchers. ASF's grants ensure that all promising lines of research have a chance to be explored.
The ASF plays a leading role in advancing high-quality science to improve our understanding of autism spectrum disorder. They have been involved in many of the major research questions of key importance to the field and have providing fellowships to many trainees who have continued to pursue careers in autism research.
An organization devoted to letting science guide it, the Autism Science Foundation serves as a critical facilitator of research in the autism community. Not only does ASF strive to fund proposals asking interesting questions, it brings science to the community. Through their podcasts and talks, ASF is playing an important role in keeping the autism community scientifically minded.
Autism Science Foundation is a welcoming, inclusive and supportive research and advocacy organization that exemplifies 'partnership' - with autistic individuals and their families, and with the research community. They have brought the human touch to autism research funding, fostering positive relationships and building capacity by focusing on trainees and new faculty. As a pediatrician and autism researcher, I am extremely grateful to this wonderfully supportive and passionate organization and its leaders.
ASF has quickly become the premier nonprofit for trusted, empirically-sound information on current knowledge about autism. It is remarkable that such a small and dedicated (read: efficient!) team can operate so comprehensively at the front lines of autism science.
More than any other autism-focused nonprofit, ASF has a strong and well-recognized commitment to young scientists (including undergraduate students) with an interest in studying autism. Truly, ASF is seeding the future of the field with their work now! A truly outstanding - in every sense of the word - organization!

The ASF is an incredible organization run by some amazingly selfless, dedicated individuals. I have been involved with the Autism Science Foundation for a few years now, participating in a soccer tournament called Scoring Goals for Autism. And our family was selected to represent the Recipe for Hope 2017 campaign so I got to work closely with some of the staff and they were just terrific.
The Autism Science Foundation (ASF) is exactly what I look for in a nonprofit. It has clear goals and a great team of dedicated individuals. I know my donations are well-spent and care for with ASF. Thank you for all that you do!
ASF is really one of the most well run, rigorous and impactful non profits I have worked with, and they have become a leader in the autism field. Alison Singer brings together experts in advocacy, science and education in autism, and through her work the organization has funded cutting edge research studies, hosted dynamic symposia on autism research and has inspired students to pursue careers in autism through their fellowships. With very limited funds and manpower, ASF has accomplished more in the autism field than organizations with 10x the budget and staff. This success speaks directly to the excellent personnel that they employ and the leadership of Alison Singer. I have sat ( and still sit) on the board of many non profits, so I understand the challenges around running these organizations, which makes me even more impressed by ASF's success.
The Autism Science Foundation has been a wonderful organization to work with professionally. It funds meaningful and groundbreaking translational research within the field of Autism that will enable us to better understand the condition and develop interventions to better serve those with ASD.
