Empowering the Autism Community

After years of raising money for various Autism Awareness organizations without actually knowing where the money was going, I decided to create my own non profit organization.
Our goal as an organization is to empower individuals through education, increasing safety awareness, and promoting inclusiveness within communities. We raise funds with community members through 5Ks, sponsors, and donations. Our funds are directly given back to the public to meet specific special needs of the Autism Community. -Amy Moody, Founder
There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN DO instead of what he can not do. – Dr. Temple Grandin
Uniting Community Through Inclusiveness
Inspiration for our Striving
Our son, Jackson, was diagnosed with severe autism with a sensory processing disorder at the age of 3.
He is silly, strong willed, perfectly created and a true gift. He has opened our eyes to a whole different kind of world.

Our son, Jackson, was diagnosed with severe autism with a sensory processing disorder at the age of 3.
He is silly, strong willed, perfectly created and a true gift. He has opened our eyes to a whole different kind of world.
Our journey has been an interesting and frustrating one to put it simply. We have three young children and it is always a challenge taking them as a group anywhere in the community. Navigating meltdown triggers, worrying about keeping him safe while making sure he has the adventures the family is having.
Throughout our journey we have realized nothing is really tailored for the autism community which is growing at a rapid rate in the US. The current estimation is 1 in 48 some sources estimate 1 in 30.
So we decided to take action, one community, one project, one need at a time.
Autism offers a chance for us to glimpse an awe-filled vision of the world that might otherwise pass us by.” – Dr. Colin “Zimbleman
