tism - Autism Family Network

A Community for Autism Families — and the Professionals Who Support Them. Local resources, events, and people who truly get it.

tism is a private, invite-only community where autism families stay connected, share trusted local resources, and show up for each other.

THE DOOR BETWEEN FAMILIES When your child is on the spectrum, isolation hits from every direction. Privacy walls due to HIPAA mean you never meet the other families at your child's school or therapy center. Therapy waiting rooms are full of parents who never exchange numbers. tism is the door between those families, so your child can finally have friends at their birthday party.

COMMUNITY-BUILT RESOURCES Discover therapists, sensory-friendly activities, inclusive programs, and supportive providers, all recommended by families who've actually used them. The best resources rise to the top through community upvotes.

EVENTS & PLAYDATES Plan and discover events, meetups, and playdates organized by families who understand your child's needs. Target your city, your connections, or both.

STRENGTHS FIRST Every child profile starts with what your child loves and what they're great at. Interests, play styles, favorite things — not diagnoses and deficits. Your kid is more than a label.

VERIFIED & SAFE tism is invite-only. Every member, parent, family member, or supporting professional - was vouched for by someone already in the community.

Features:

• School groups — find and create groups for your child's school, members verify each other
• City & age groups — auto-join families in your area with kids in the same age range
• Events & playdates — plan meetups around what your kids love, RSVP, comment, follow up
• Community feed — share wins, ask questions, celebrate milestones with families who understand
• Direct messaging — private conversations with connected families, mutual opt-in only
• Local resources — therapists, programs, and services rated by families in your area
• Invite codes — grow your community one family at a time, every invite is personal
• Safety first — block, mute, report on every interaction, crisis resources always accessible

tism requires an invite code from an existing member to join. This isn't a barrier - it's how we keep the community trusted and safe.

Built by an autism dad in Texas. No ads. No data selling. Just families - and the people who support them - showing up for each other..
