Our Mission

AANEA, Inc.’s goal is to promote education and awareness of autism spectrum disorders in our communities and to support families affected by an autism spectrum disorder.

To maintain the goals the AANEA conducts a major fund raiser during April, which is Autism Awareness Month. Each year, AANEA hosts the Autism Awareness Weekend that consists of events such as a golf tournament and dinner, a silent auction, the Autism Awareness Walk and an annual Conference on Autism which features various nationally known and recognized speakers in the fields of autism research and behavior.

Quotes from some of our families in AANEA who wanted to share what AANEA has done for them or their child. • "The Pump It Up nights were a great way for my family to have an evening out" • "The AANEA has given a united voice to the families of Northeast Arkansas affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder" • "I just wanted to let everyone know how helpful it has been for me to meet other parents - I don't feel so alone anymore - It's just a relief almost to meet others who are dealing with the same issues I am - And it's wonderful to hear them share their child's successes - It gives me hope"
