About this service

The beginnings of the Autism Society, Newfoundland Labrador, were in 1982 when Autism Society Canada (ASC) held a meeting in St. Johns with the purpose of starting a chapter. At that time, Barbara Hopkins, professor of education at Memorial University, was invited to join ASCs Board of Directors in 1983. She had a mission to create a chapter in St. Johns. In 1987, a constitution and bylaws were drafted and Autism Society, Newfoundland Labrador (ASNL), was both formally incorporated under the NL Companies Act and registered as a charity under the Income Tax Act.

From there, a capital campaign to build a provincial autism centre officially began in 2003. Local champions saw the need for a Centre that would provide services and supports for individuals and families living with Autism Spectrum Disorder. With Craig and Elaine Dobbin as major benefactors, the doors opened in late 2005. The Elaine Dobbin Centre for Autism officially opened in June 2006, and served the Avalon Region.
