The Autism Experience

Our Mission
To create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully.

Our Vision
Creating a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it.

Everyone’s story is different.
The experience of Autism is not one thing. It is many things. It’s dreams, talents, relationships, victories, hurdles, and everything in between. The connection between those experiences is you.

You break the mold. No matter who you are, the person you are is infinite — and you are the only you there is.
