World Autism Awareness Day is an important day for Aspire.
As one of the region’s leaders in early childhood intervention, many of its customers have received an Autism diagnosis and the organisation proudly works with them, and their families, to achieve their full potential.
"It’s our view that everyone has the right to live the life they choose," Aspire chief executive officer Nigel Stone said.
"World Autism Awareness Day is really an opportunity for us to celebrate the individual talents, strengths and contributions of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
‘It’s not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis.
"Our team respects and supports the goals and interests of each individual person by providing a service based on a high level of qualifications, experience and compassion."

Aspire’s Early Intervention Service has a team of educators, physiotherapists, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, family support workers and teaching aides.
The team works with families to use the most current evidence-based therapies and interventions to suit each individual child.
This can be in the home, the child’s school or child care setting – anywhere that makes sense for that child and their family.
"Aspire is also currently working with local families to prepare them for the start of the NDIS," Mr Stone said.
"The introduction of the NDIS will open more opportunities for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to reach their goals and get the support they need to really go anywhere and do anything in life."
Aspire is encouraging its staff and the wider community to "go blue for Autism" on Sunday.
Mr Stone said Aspire was an organisation built on experience, passion and a belief that everyone has the right to live the life they choose.
“By being innovative and flexible the Aspire team can grow with their customers and empower them to lead the journey through proven support and commitment,” he said.
