About Autism Adventures
A bowling night, a fishing outing, a karate class, or an afternoon of arts and crafts can open the door to something lasting. Autism Adventures brings people with autism spectrum disorder and their families together through local recreational and social events for all ages, with opportunities to practice social skills, meet new people, and build connections that continue beyond the event. Monthly events are free or offered at a largely discounted rate, helping make participation more accessible.
Autism Adventures makes room for people across the lifespan, including youth and adults, through accessible community recreation and social events. The point is not only to try a new activity, but to create social supports and connections that families can carry forward.
