AANE and AHA recently joined forces! My commitment to AHA has blossomed into a connection with a wider network of resources for the Asperger/Autism Community. Pat Schissel, the dedicated Executive Director of AHA has taken on the role of NY Executive Director! I continue to support resource and referrals in the NYC metropolitan area. We have some great ideas for programs and supports and need the support of the community!

AANE works with individuals, families, and professionals to help people with Asperger's and similar autism spectrum profiles build meaningful, connected lives. We do this by providing information, education, community, support, and advocacy--all in an atmosphere of validation and respect.

My family has benefited from the supports and resources found through our connection to AHA, now AANE -- and I hope you will join me as we grow AHA's New York presence into AANE. ROCK N BOWL for Autism (RNB) is a fun day for all!

I'd love for you to come bowl with us and meet the dedicated staff, volunteers and AANE New York Director, Pat Schissel. To learn more and to register to bowl or attend the event, visit www.aane.org/rock-n-bowl.

If you can't join us though, please consider making a gift to AANE through my fundraising page. Funds raised through RNB support the launch of new, innovative, and needed initiatives that better serve the Asperger/autism community in New York.

THANK YOU!!
