The Down Syndrome-Autism Connection™ is the only nonprofit organization dedicated solely to co-occurring Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorder (DS-ASD) in the United States. You can contact the DSAC by emailing dsac@mdsc.org or visit their Facebook page. DSAC became an affiliate of the MDSC in 2011, falling under our 501(c)3 non-profit status. "By joining forces together, the MDSC and DSAC will ensure that all families who have children with the dual diagnosis of Down syndrome and autism feel welcome and have access to the resources and supports they need." said Maureen Gallagher, Executive Director of the MDSC. |
