Jane Salzano’s journey towards founding an Autism support organization was a profound and deeply personal one. It began when her eldest son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of three. In the wake of the diagnosis, Jane navigated a labyrinth of emotions – from confusion and fear to determination and hope. However, what she found lacking was a robust support system that catered comprehensively to families like hers.

Armed with an unwavering commitment to enhance the lives of individuals on the Autism spectrum and their families, Jane embarked on a remarkable journey. Driven by her personal experiences, she recognized the need for specialized services, understanding, and a sense of community that extended beyond clinical settings.

With an unyielding spirit, Jane spearheaded the establishment of an Autism organization called Community Services for Autistic Adults and Children. Her vision was simple yet profound – to create a hub where families affected by autism could find comprehensive support, education, and a sense of belonging.

Beyond offering direct support, Jane was an advocate at heart. She dedicated herself to raising awareness, lobbying for policy changes, and debunking myths surrounding autism in the wider community. Her efforts weren’t just about the organization but about creating a more inclusive society that embraced neurodiversity with open arms.
