About Us

Who We Are?

Approach Autism Society (AAS) is a self-help group founded by parents of children with autism, united by a common goal—to empower, support, and advocate for individuals on the autism spectrum. Registered under “Approach Autism Society” (Reg. No. 525/Jaipur/2011-12), AAS is recognized by NITI Aayog (Unique ID: RJ/2017/0180386) and operates under the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Act, 1995 (Renewed under Article 52(2), F16(14)/15/Registration/Ni.Vi.Yo/20213698 dated 10/05/2022).

At AAS, we believe in fostering an inclusive society where every neurodiverse individual receives the education, opportunities, and support needed to lead a fulfilling life.

Understanding Autism

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects approximately one in every 150 individuals, with 80% being male. In India, more than 4 million people live with autism, many of whom remain undiagnosed due to limited awareness and misconceptions about the condition. In Jaipur alone, 25 to 40 newborns per month are estimated to be diagnosed with autism, adding up to 300 to 450 children annually.

Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition, but with early intervention, structured support, and a systematic approach, individuals with autism can lead independent, meaningful lives.

Driven by this mission, we—parents of autistic children—founded Approach Autism Society to provide dedicated support to individuals and families across Rajasthan and neighboring states.
