Help is on the way if you or your loved ones live with autism in Door and Kewaunee counties. The Autism Society of Northeast Wisconsin announced earlier this month that it was expanding into the region to offer resources to local families. ASNEW helps organize support groups, take advantage of grant opportunities, and arrange group and community events. ASNEW’s Rhiannon Utter says their mission is to ensure that everyone within the autism spectrum is included and that families know what is available, which is a big part of how they accomplish their organization’s goals.

Utter encourages families to contact the organization to learn more about the community's current needs and where they can focus their efforts.
