The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of persons on the autism spectrum disorder. We envision a society where Filipinos on the spectrum become the best of their potentials -- self-reliant, independent, productive, socially-accepted citizens of an Autism-OK Philippines.

On - the - Spot Painting Contest

“Truly Artistic.. Proudly Autistic”. The tag line used by ASP to promote and emphasize the artistic talents of persons with autism. The tag line also serves as the title of several painting exhibits of ASP artists with autism like Andrei Macapagal, Vico Cham, Kenrick Cheng and others.
