Parlons Autisme: Strengthening Francophone Autistic Lives in Ontario

Nurturing Growth Through Activism and Support

The Société franco-ontarienne de l’autisme (Parlons Autisme) champions the flourishing of Francophone individuals with autism and ensures their families and communities are empowered in all spheres of life. The organization focuses on enhancing education access, providing respite to loved ones, and bridging significant gaps in social and educational services across Ontario.

Mission: Empowering Through Confidence and Inclusion

Parlons Autisme exists because French-speaking autistic individuals deserve high-quality education in their language, and because their families need support and serenity in caring for their loved ones. It addresses the reality that existing services are often understaffed, underfunded, or inaccessible in French, creating unnecessary barriers for Francophone families.

Vision: Language, Learning, and Belonging

Parlons Autisme’s vision is to foster a community where learning, joy, and growth coexist with the reality of autism—all while giving parents and caregivers the confidence they need to guide their loved ones forward. This vision centers not just on service delivery, but also on forging an environment of trust, competence, and belonging for Francophone families.

Why Their Work Matters

Parlons Autisme plays a vital role in ensuring linguistic inclusion in autism support—especially in a context where many services are dominated by English. Their dual commitment to language rights and autism accessibility ensures that Francophone autistic individuals and their families not only have access, but also the confidence and capacity to thrive.
