About ASDiscover
A front door to the community
Our mission
ASDiscover connects children with autism and their families to resources, supportive people, inclusive experiences, and a community where they belong.
Autism touches the whole family. Families often need help navigating resources, school systems, activities, relationships, and everyday community life. We help families feel less isolated, better connected, and more supported — and we serve everyone, regardless of race, religion, gender, or color.

ASDiscover is not a medical provider, therapy clinic, or diagnostic service, and we do not provide legal advice or emergency services.
ASDiscover provides community-based support, resource coordination, family connection, and inclusive programming. When families need specialized clinical, medical, legal, or professional services, ASDiscover helps connect them with appropriate community resources and qualified providers.

Ashleigh Sayles
Founder
Ashleigh Sayles is a passionate professional who is deeply committed to assisting children who are experiencing socio-emotional difficulties. She worked in The Challenger program, an outgrowth of the Crawford County Mental Health Department’s F.A.C.T. project (Family & Children Together), for nearly five years. During her tenure there, Ashleigh provided personal attendant care to children and adolescents with a variety of conditions, including trauma survivors.
Ashleigh’s knowledge extends beyond caring. She was crucial in creating a curriculum focusing on everyday living skills, which included critical factors such as healthy social interaction, sanitation, and good sportsmanship. She assisted youngsters in practicing these skills in a fun and supportive setting by using engaging games and interactive activities.
