In Québec, the focus is on early identification. Contact the ID-PD-ASD access point where you live and learn more about the Québec government’s Agir tôt program. If you have concerns about your child’s development, consult a professional; early diagnosis is essential.

Fédération québécoise de l’autisme

The Fédération québécoise de l’autisme is a provincial network of organizations and individuals who share the interests of people with autism, their families and their entourage.

In particular, the FQA makes available a Québec-wide directory of training activities and a toolbox.

Its mission is to mobilize all concerned stakeholders in order to promote the well-being of people with autism, to sensitize and inform the population about autism spectrum disorders and the circumstances of families, and to contribute to the development of and dissemination of knowledge.
