WHO WE ARE:

The Worldwide Autism Association WAA was founded in the community centre Hottingen in Zurich, Switzerland in 1998. The association is an international self-help organisation for people with autism who wish to meet others with the same condition, talk about their experiences and difficulties in everyday life.

Each member will receive an address list and, if desired, can enlist his/her own address. Addresses will not be passed on without permission.

The main goal of our association is the newsletter �Bottlemail�, which is mainly written by people with autism. It is published in German and English in irregular intervals and sent to members and sponsors.

Furthermore, an event with speeches by experts on autism and people with autism and following discussions is held once a year.
