History

13th Anniversary Dinner

APSA celebrated its 13thanniversary with a fundraising dinner that took place the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in Lisbon on 22 November 2016. 

To this dinner attended 140 individuals (APSA team, youths, family members, friends, benefactors and sponsors) that gathered to celebrate the life, the dreams and the mission of our Association.


Ruben Reis produced the video of the dinner.

APSA- Portuguese Association for Asperger Syndrome is a non-profit Private Social Solidarity Institution (IPSS) that was created by a group of parents in Lisbon on 7 November2003.

Over the 12 years of APSA existence, our journey went throughmany paths. In addiction, a lot of people joined this Association to make it grow and evolve. We have highlighted some of the most relevant moments in our history:

Book editions:
Scientific and general information books editions about AS in partnership with Editorial Verbo. Published books: "Asperger's Syndrome" by Tony Attwood (June 2006); Minute Book – 1stInternational Congress of AS (December 2007); “Can I tell you about Asperger Syndrome?” (November 2008); “Asperger's... What Does It Mean to Me?” (November 2009); “The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome” by Tony Attwood (December 2010); Minute Book of the Seminar about “Rights, Inclusion and Disability” (March 2011); “Aspergirls” (July 2011); Minute book – 3rdInternational Congress of AS (May 2012). The necessity to publish books by APSA comes from the fact that there is no Portuguese literature about Asperger Syndrome. Our publications are destined to the people who have AS, health and education professionals, parents and family members.
