Be A Member! Get Involved! T* A* S* C* is always seeking volunteers to join the coalition in support of its mission and purpose. All that is required is a willingness to learn about and an ability to make an effort to support adults, especially more higher-functioning adults, with autism spectrum disorders, their families and friends. This can be done by giving moral and other support to the activities and efforts sponsored by T* A* S* C*. We are looking for higher-functioning adults with autism spectrum disorders, such as Asperger's Syndrome, who are interested in individual and collective self-advocacy.

Make a Difference
As an independent, non-profit organization, T* A* S* C* relies on the help of its community. Our current success can be attributed to the generous gifts and active involvement of our community members. Your contributions allow us to provide many of our services free of charge and to maintain affordable fees for our conferences and seminars. We at T* A* S* C* thank you for your help. We truly could not do it without you!
Donate
Unlike many other autism services, we are not a state-funded organization. In fact, 100% of our funding comes from private donations.
What if Tallahassee Autism Support Coalition earned a donation every time you searched the Internet? Or how about if a percentage of every purchase you made online went to support our cause? Well, now it can! We offer many of our services at no cost, such as the help line, support groups, and social groups for adults with AS. Your donations allow us to keep these services free of charge.
These are some ways in which you can help us:
•General
◦Gifts to celebrate or commemorate special occasions
◦Gifts in memoriam
•Good Search
•Book Donation
•Wish List
Host a Fundraising Event
Hosting a fundraising event for T* A* S* C* is a great way to have fun, network, and make a difference in the organization - like Brian Coghill & his 'Dimensions of Terror' crew, in cooperation with Tallahassee Mall, the Home Depot and others!
Volunteer for T* A* S* C*
We rely on volunteers to help run the organization at all levels - like members of the FSU Students for Autism Awareness!
Legislative Advocacy
The mission of T* A* S* C* includes advocating for appropriate quality services for individuals with ASD across the age spectrum and lobbying for funding at the local, state, and national levels. We do this through the ARC of Florida, with which we are affiliated.
Corporate Funding
If you have a connection to a foundation or work for a company that might be willing to sponsor a fundraiser or other event or provide support for T* A* S* C* generally, please contact Brian Coghill at illimenkinin(at)gmail(dot)com.
Service provider
If you are a service provider (such as a physician or other professional) or another 'support team' member (such as a friend or relative) and you wish to refer an adult individual known, thought, or suspected of having an autism spectrum disorder to us, please keep in mind that while we at T* A* S* C* seek to support - aid and assist - all individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and pervasive developmental disorders (PDDS), we are limited in our ability to do so by a lack of human and other resources.
Simply, we can only work with individuals with ASD, their families, friends and others from the community as they work with us - 'they' and 'we' - YOU - are 'us'!!!
Thank you for your interest in and attention to these matters. We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming your client or loved one.
