Imagine a day where everyone feels welcome, understood, and celebrated. A day where children can explore their creativity without fear, bounce in jump houses designed with their needs in mind, and find calm in quiet spaces when things feel a little too overwhelming. This is the heart of Autism Acceptance Family Fun Day—a special event created just for you and your family.

Consider Mia, a bright and curious 7-year-old with Autism who loves art but finds big crowds and loud noises challenging. Last year, Mia and her mom attended the Fun Day for the first time. They were welcomed with open arms, and Mia’s face lit up when she saw the sensory-friendly craft station. She painted happily for hours, surrounded by other kids who understood her need for a little extra space. Her mom, Sarah, chatted with other parents at the resource booths, finding new connections and support she didn’t know existed. For the first time in a long time, they felt part of a community that truly got them.

This is what the Autism Acceptance Family Fun Day is all about. It’s more than just an event—it’s a place where families can connect, play, and feel embraced. With sensory-friendly activities, calming stations, arts and crafts, food, and resources from local providers, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to make new friends, find support, or simply enjoy a day where your family’s needs are front and center, we invite you to join us.

Come and be a part of a day dedicated to acceptance, joy, and celebrating each unique journey. Let’s build a community where every child, teen, and adult with Autism feels seen, heard, and valued—just as they are. We can’t wait to see you there!
