“Improving the Lives of All Affected by Autism”

A community providing education and resources – the Autism Society of Hawaii serves children and adults on the autism disorder spectrum and works to develop opportunities for all those affected so that they can reach their highest potential.

Aloha!

July – 4th of July, BBQs, Picnics, Vacations . . . Gatherings with family and friends. What a difference a year makes! How wonderful it is to be able to be together with others. We’re thankful that you are all safe, and we’re looking forward to the days ahead and seeing you all soon.

This Saturday, July 3rd, we’ll be hosting our bi-monthly DAD TO DAD, an informal virtual conversation hosted for our community of fathers. To register, simply send an email to autismhi@gmail.com and you’ll receive the Zoom link. Our second SENSORY FRIENDLY FILM will be held on July 31st, and we invite you to join us to view JUNGLE CRUISE. And THE ASH GAMER GROUP will be meeting on July 21st at 4:30 pm. For information on these and future events, visit our website at www.autismsocietyofhawaii.org.

Please save the date for ASH’s first golf tournament – SWING FOR THE SPECTRUM on September 17 at Pearl Country Club. We’re looking forward to a special day of fun, food, games, and joining together in support of our mission on behalf of our community of families living with autism. For more information on the tournament, go to www.swingforthespectrumash.com.

As I look back over the course of the past year and think about the importance of independence, I encourage and invite you to join us to work together to continue to support and empower our families and everyone living with Autism. We are a resilient and compassionate community, and one I’m proud to be a part of.

We continue to evolve with the pandemic and learned how to adapt to distance learning and work.  We’ve discovered new ways to be together even though we’ve been physically apart.  And in the process, we see how resilient we are, how flexible we can be, and how compassionate we are as a community.

If you have any suggestions or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at autismhi@gmail.com.

Have a safe and wonderful summer! We look forward to seeing you soon. As always, we’re in this together!

Sincerely,

Dennis Maher
President, Board of Directors
