Foundation
The Aruba Autism Foundation, called Fundacion Autismo Aruba is one of the few organizations on the island that works specifically for the interest of people with autism, their families and caretakers.
"Fundacion Autismo Aruba" (herein after referred to as F.A.A.) was officially founded in June of 2005. The foundation was formed by parents of children with autism, who had personally experienced the lack of an organization to help them navigate life with autism after a diagnosis. Aruba being a small island two of the current board members found out they had something more in common than children of the same age. Both parents had to find the necessary support for their children through their own effort. Their early talks about the need for an autism organization resulted in several informal meetings starting in 2003 that led to the official founding in 2005.
