About us

Atlas Al-Sharq Center for Autism and Capacity Development is a specialized center dedicated to educating and rehabilitating individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It was established in 2014 by the parent of a Saudi young man with ASD, aiming to serve his son and others like him. The idea was born out of the shared struggles faced by many parents of children with ASD. Since its inception, the center has carried a clear vision to support individuals with ASD and their families, ensuring they receive the highest quality educational and therapeutic services. The center has also worked diligently to deliver its noble mission by providing comprehensive support to autism families through training, emotional support, and amplifying their voices .within the community.
