I am just a human beeing and I've seen that in me there are many signs of autism. Because I have had the luck to have only some signs, like all average people have, I've understood the needs of people overcomed by this situation. Humanity discovers more and more, we have robots and atomic bombs, so we should try to sit down a lirrle and think about those who can't even open a box with candyes.
My name is Gerri Taylor.
This organization started with the help of three professionals (and personal friends) that are as dedicated as I am to serving individuals with needs in our communities. My son was diagnosed with Autistic Disorder at age 27 months in 2002. In 2010, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. In April 2011, I resigned my position as the Children's Mental Health Counselor - Bullock Co. at East Central Mental Health to begin the process of creating an organization for the ASD community, in the river-region of central Alabama. The Autism Spectrum Counseling Center, Incorporated was founded on August 31, 2011. On May 17, 2012, our organization was approved by the IRS as a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt public charity.
