According to the South Carolina Secretary of State, the South Carolina Autism Society devoted nearly 90% of its total expenses to program services. OUR GOALS ARE SIMPLE. • Raise the awareness of autism spectrum disorders. The better understanding our society has about autism, the better the quality of life for those on the spectrum will be. • Raise funds for the South Carolina Autism Society.
