What we do every day
Every day, AAFS creates space for possibility.
We provide respite care in a social and recreational environment where individuals ages 4 through 50 and up - including children, youth, and adults - living with autism and other forms of neurodivergence feel safe, supported and free to be themselves. We don’t separate individuals based on support needs. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to participate, connect, and be part of a community regardless of where they fall on the spectrum.
What we do goes beyond care
AAFS is imagined and brought to life by the youth themselves. We don’t just plan programs, we build them together. From the first idea to the final detail, our members are part of the process, shaping experiences that reflect who they are and what excites them.
We support big ideas, even when they’re complex. We problem-solve together, adapt together, and celebrate together.
Because this isn’t just about activities, it’s about ownership, confidence, and belonging.
We work with our members, and always for them.
