Our Core Mission
We want to change how people view and treat autistic people,from families to therapists.
Not to be treated like a broken neurotypical that needs to be fixed, but a whole person that deserves respect, support, and autonomy. That we all flourish when we can learn to adapt with autism, instead of fighting against it.
We apply the PERMA method of well-being, to help support individuals, connect the family unit, help small business owners to support their staff, and train professionals to better understand their clients.
