On July 1, 2009 American Military Families Autism Support Facebook page became the first effort focused on autism and the military.

Since that time the AMFAS page has been a central point for our families to get the most relevant and current information related to military life and autism.

In fact, for 2012, Babble.com recognized AMFAS as not just the No. 1 Facebook page for military families dealing with autism, but the top Facebook autism page overall.

As we’re maintained, it’s our community that makes this page worth visiting. The vast majority of our community members are military families in need of support.

The page now has 2,263 likes (up from almost 1,350 a year ago), significant because our policy is not to beg people to “like” our page. We do ask that if you know people who can benefit from our community, that you invite them to visit. This includes your spouse, grandparents or peers who have a part in the lives of your autistic family members.
While our core group are the families we support, we are always welcoming friends, family, acquaintances, coworkers, and supporters from the general public who want to show support for our families.

Suggesting to a friend or family member, especially one who hasn’t been introduced to the intricacies of what you’ve been through, could be a way to open them to better understanding your perspective.

Together we can make a difference.
