Autism Unity

Supporting families

Understanding through shared experience

We understand that autism affects the whole family. Our work is shaped by lived experience, advocacy, and the belief that autistic individuals and their families deserve support, opportunity, acceptance, and a community where they belong.

Our story

Autism Unity grew from lived experience, family, advocacy, and a desire to create meaningful support for others.

"Supporting autism means supporting not only the individual, but the entire family and the community around them."

As parents and advocates within the autism community, we created Autism Unity in 2022 as a Boston, Massachusetts-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our work was born in part as a response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, where our personal connections allowed us to see firsthand how quickly autistic children and their families can lose access to familiar services, supports, routines, and safe environments when their lives are suddenly disrupted.

Today, Autism Unity brings that understanding to our work locally while building connections, sharing experiences and resources, and supporting autism communities beyond our borders.

What Autism Unity stands for
